The controversial question of whether machines may ever be conscious must be based on a
careful consideration of how consciousness arises in the only physical system that …

Recent advancements in cognitive neuroscience have afforded a description of neural
responses in terms of latent algorithmic operations. However, the adoption of this approach …

Objective. Brain–computer interfaces (BCI) enable direct communication with a computer,
using neural activity as the control signal. This neural signal is generally chosen from a …

We look back on the events surrounding the genesis of our 1993 article on the error-related
negativity (ERN), a component of the event-related brain potential that accompanies errors …

People are often aware of their mistakes, and report levels of confidence in their choices that
correlate with objective performance. These metacognitive assessments of decision quality …

Unexpected events are part of everyday experience. They come in several varieties—action
errors, unexpected action outcomes, and unexpected perceptual events—and they lead to …

Feedback indicating monetary loss elicits an apparent negative deflection in the event‐
related potential (ERP) that has been referred to as the feedback error‐related negativity …

There are few behavioral effects as ubiquitous as the speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT). From
insects to rodents to primates, the tendency for decision speed to covary with decision …

Coordinated interactions between the central and autonomic nervous systems are crucial for
survival due to the inherent propensity for human behavior to make errors. In our ever …
