The organization of neural representations for flexible behavior in the human brain
PROJECT SUMMARY Cognitive control allows us to flexibly guide our actions based on our goals. Central to most prominent theories of cognitive control is the control representation. For control to be successful, this representation is maintained in working memory by the prefrontal cortex (PFC) where it allows the same input to map to different responses depending on the context. Convergent evidence has found that the PFC encodes multiple task-relevant features of a task. However, little is known about the computational features of these control representations based on how they organize this information. This is a fundamental gap in our understanding. Here we focus on one such property,…
