Beyond the Beta Rebound: Post-Task Responses in Oscillatory Activity follow Cessation of Working Memory Processes (2022)
Journal Article
Coleman, S. C., Seedat, Z. A., Whittaker, A. C., Lenartowicz, A., & Mullinger, K. J. (2023). Beyond the Beta Rebound: Post-Task Responses in Oscillatory Activity follow Cessation of Working Memory Processes. NeuroImage, 265, Article 119801. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2022.119801

Post-task responses (PTRs) are transitionary responses occurring for several seconds between the end of a stimulus/task and a period of rest. The most well-studied of these are beta band (13 – 30 Hz) PTRs in motor networks following movement, often c...

Post-stimulus beta responses are modulated by task duration (2019)
Journal Article
Pakenham, D. O., Quinn, A. J., Fry, A., Francis, S. T., Woolrich, M. W., Brookes, M. J., & Mullinger, K. J. (2020). Post-stimulus beta responses are modulated by task duration. NeuroImage, 206, Article 116288. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.116288

Modulation of beta-band neural oscillations during and following movement is a robust marker of brain function. In particular, the post-movement beta rebound (PMBR), which occurs on movement cessation, has been related to inhibition and connectivity...

Two spatially distinct posterior alpha sources fulfill different functional roles in attention (2019)
Journal Article
Sokoliuk, R., Mayhew, S., Aquino, K., Wilson, R., Brookes, M., Francis, S., …Mullinger, K. (2019). Two spatially distinct posterior alpha sources fulfill different functional roles in attention. Journal of Neuroscience, 39(36), 7183-7194. https://doi.org/10.1523/jneurosci.1993-18.2019

Directing attention helps extracting relevant information and suppressing distracters. Alpha brain oscillations (8-12Hz) are crucial for this process, with power decreases facilitating processing of important information and power increases inhibitin...

Addressing challenges of high spatial resolution UHF fMRI for group analysis of higher?order cognitive tasks: An inter?sensory task directing attention between visual and somatosensory domains (2018)
Journal Article
Aquino, K. M., Sokoliuk, R., Pakenham, D., Sanchez-Panchuelo, R. M., Hanslmayr, S., Mayhew, S. D., …Francis, S. T. (2019). Addressing challenges of high spatial resolution UHF fMRI for group analysis of higher‐order cognitive tasks: An inter‐sensory task directing attention between visual and somatosensory domains. Human Brain Mapping, 40(4), 1298-1316. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.24450

Functional MRI at ultra-high field (UHF, ?7T) provides significant increases in BOLD contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) compared with conventional field strength (3T), and has been exploited for reduced field-of-view, high spatial resolution mapping of pr...

Exploring the relative efficacy of motion artefact correction techniques for EEG data acquired during simultaneous fMRI (2018)
Journal Article
Alexander, D. J., Smith, J. A., Spencer, G. S., Jorge, J., Bowtell, R., & Mullinger, K. J. (2019). Exploring the relative efficacy of motion artefact correction techniques for EEG data acquired during simultaneous fMRI. Human Brain Mapping, 40(2), 578-596. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.24396

Simultaneous EEG-fMRI allows multi-parametric characterisation of brain function, in principle enabling a more complete understanding of brain responses; unfortunately the hostile MRI environment severely reduces EEG data quality. Simply eliminating... Read More about Exploring the relative efficacy of motion artefact correction techniques for EEG data acquired during simultaneous fMRI.
