EEG Decoding Reveals the Strength and Temporal Dynamics of Goal-Relevant Representations.

ABSTRACT: Models of action control assume that attentional control settings regulate the processing of lower-level stimulus/response representations. Yet, little is known about how exactly control and sensory/response representations relate to each other to produce goal-directed behavior. Addressing this question requires time-resolved information about the strength of the different, potentially overlapping representations, on a trial-by-trial basis. Using a cued task-switching paradigm, we show that information about relevant representations can be extracted through decoding analyses from the scalp electrophysiological signal (EEG) with high temporal resolution. Peaks in representational strength-indexed through decoding accuracy-proceeded from superficial task cues, to stimulus locations, to featu
