  • Mind wandering and attention
  • Motor Control and Adaptation

Frequently publishing in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Neuropsychologia, Cerebral Cortex, Scientific Reports, and the Journal of Neuroscience, Dux has contributed to the dissemination of knowledge within neuroscience and related fields.

Recent prominent papers include:

  • "State-dependent effects of neural stimulation on brain function and cognition" (2022, Nature Reviews Neuroscience)
  • "The influence of tDCS intensity on decision-making training and transfer outcomes" (2020, Journal of Neurophysiology)
  • "Evidence against benefits from cognitive training and transcranial direct current stimulation in healthy older adults" (2020, Nature Human Behaviour)
  • "Knowledge generalization and the costs of multitasking" (2022, Nature Reviews Neuroscience)
  • "On the relationship between GABA+ and glutamate across the brain" (2022, NeuroImage)

Throughout their career, Paul E. Dux has collaborated frequently with several researchers, notably Hannah L. Filmer, Jason B. Mattingley, Shane E. Ehrhardt, Li-Ann Leow, and Yohan Wards. These coauthors illustrate an extensive network of professional partnerships within the neuroscience community.
