Neural Mechanisms of Effort Mobilization and Cognitive Control

Saturday, March 9, 2019 · Paris, France

Cognitive Science

This symposium presents recent models and evidence on the neural mechanisms underlying effort and cognitive control. Contributions focus on the neural correlates of effort-related cardiovascular reactivity, a computational model of the Expected Value of Control Theory, distinct networks underlying attentional effort and cognitive control, and neuro-computational mechanisms of effortful behaviors.
