Other publication venues for their work include Cognitive Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience, Imaging Neuroscience, Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, and Consciousness and Cognition.

Recent papers illustrate the scope and focus of their research:

  • "Time-varying functional connectivity predicts fluctuations in sustained attention in a serial tapping task" (2024) published in Cognitive Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience
  • "The interaction between random and systematic visual stimulation and infraslow quasi-periodic spatiotemporal patterns of whole-brain activity" (2023) published in Imaging Neuroscience
  • "Measuring task structure with transitional response times: Task representations are more than task sets" (2022) published in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
  • "Beyond mind wandering: Performance variability and neural activity during off-task thought and other attention lapses" (2023) published in Consciousness and Cognition
  • "Cognitive flexibility in and out of the laboratory: task switching, sustained attention, and mind wandering" (2024) published in Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences

They have collaborated frequently with several researchers throughout their career, including Shella Keilholz, Nan Xu, Derek M. Smith, Dolly T. Seeburger, and Eliot Hazeltine. These collaborations have contributed to a diverse and interdisciplinary approach within their published works.
