Multiple-Demand Network encoding geometry balances generalization and dimensionality during novel task assembly

2026-04-23

Abstract excerpt

On the basis of verbal instructions, humans can accomplish novel and diverse demands on the very first try. This complex phenomenon recruits structured brain activity across the frontoparietal Multiple Demand Network (MDN), which is thought to encode upcoming task parameters and guide behavior. However, it is uncertain how novel instructions are translated into efficient neural task representations. To address thi...
