Social class is a cultural context with potentially far-reaching cognitive and behavioral consequences. Fittipaldi and colleagues [1], however, examine the role of disparities in socioeconomic status (SES) as a key contributor to cognitive functioning. As they note, indicators of SES and class are often only modestly correlated and should not be used interchangeably. With this […]

There is ample evidence of wave-like activity in the brain at multiple scales and levels. This emerging literature supports the broader adoption of a wave perspective of brain activity. Specifically, a brain state can be described as a set of recurring, sequential patterns of propagating brain activity, namely a wave. We examine a collective body […]

Working memory (WM) is a fundamental aspect of cognition. WM maintenance is classically thought to rely on stable patterns of neural activities. However, recent evidence shows that neural population activities during WM maintenance undergo dynamic variations before settling into a stable pattern. Although this has been difficult to explain theoretically, neural network models optimized for […]
