Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Humans have a remarkable capacity for adjusting their allocation of cognitive control to attain goals. A rapidly growing body of research shows that this capacity depends on whether one is able to detect and adapt their internal states (e.g., emotions, arousal, motivation). Such states are an invaluable source of information about the environment and condition of the body, and regulating these internal states is key to meeting dynamic demands on cognitive control.
This Special Issue of Brain Sciences, entitled “Uncovering the Interaction between Adaptive Cognitive Control and Internal States”, aims to bring together scientists working at the cutting edge of this field, to provide a timely update on research into the mechanisms by which adaptation to cognitive control demands can be driven by internal states. We hope that this Special Issue may provide insight into how this field can move forward and will encourage interdisciplinary research on this topic.
We welcome contributions in the form of scientifically rigorous, well-designed, and well-powered empirical papers as well as theoretical reviews and opinion papers that tackle the proposed topic from different perspectives and using a variety of methodologies from, for example, psychology, neuroscience, psychophysiology, pharmacology, psychiatry, and computational science. Authors are strongly encouraged to adhere to open science practices and to justify their sample size.
