Abstract The ability to find the right balance between more persistent and flexible cognitive‐control styles is known as “metacontrol.” Recent findings suggest a relevance of aperiodic EEG activity task conditions that are likely elicit specific metacontrol style. Here we investigated whether individual differences in obtained off‐task (during resting state) predict under pose different demands on metacontrol. We analyzed resting‐state data, task‐EEG, behavioral outcomes from sample N = 65 healthy participants performing Go/Nogo task. examined indicator “neural noise” power spectrum, were assigned high‐noise or low‐noise group according median split exponents for state. found predicted Go Nogo conditions: Overall, higher (i.e., noise was lower) group, who however showed no difference trials, whereas exhibited significant reduction persistence‐heavy condition. This suggests trait‐like biases determine default style, which can be overwritten compensated challenging demands. signals represents valid indicators highly dynamic arbitration styles, representing brain's capability reorganize itself adapt its neural patterns changing environmental conditions.

Our performance on cognitive tasks fluctuates: the same individual completing task will differ in their response’s moment-to-moment. For decades fluctuations have been implicitly ignored – treated as measurement error with a focus instead aggregates such mean performance. Leveraging dense trial-by-trial data and novel time-series methods we explored variability an intrinsically important phenotype. Across eleven over 7 million trials, found highly reliable interindividual differences every examined. These are both qualitatively quantitatively distinct from Moreover, that single dimension for across was inadequate, demonstrating previously posited global mechanisms at least partially incomplete. findings indicate is fundamental part of cognition potential to offer insights into developmental processes.

Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a common neuropsychiatric condition with established diagnostic criteria and effective treatments but for which the underlying neuropathophysiological mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Recent neuroimaging studies have revealed FND as multi-network brain disorder, unveiling alterations across limbic, self-agency, attentional/salience, sensorimotor networks. However, relationship between identified disease progression or improvement less explored.
