In many circumstances alternative courses of action and thoughts have to be inhibited to
allow the emergence of goal-directed behavior. However, this has not been the accepted …

Response inhibition paradigms, as for example stop signal and go/no-go tasks, are often
used to study cognitive control processes. Because of the apparent demand to stop a motor …

A better understanding of the neural systems underlying impulse control is important for
psychiatry. Although most impulses are motivational or emotional rather than motoric per se …

An essential guide to designing, conducting, and analyzing event-related potential (ERP)
experiments, completely updated for this edition. The event-related potential (ERP) …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies in humans have shown that many
behaviors engage processes that suppress excitability within the corticospinal tract …

A gradual buildup of neuronal activity known as the “readiness potential” reliably precedes
voluntary self-initiated movements, in the average time locked to movement onset. This …

Recent studies indicate that subjects may respond to visual information during either an
early parallel phase or a later focused phase and that the selection of the relevant phase is …

Recent years have seen an explosion of research on the N2 component of the event‐related
potential, a negative wave peaking between 200 and 350 ms after stimulus onset. This …

Response inhibition is an important act of control in many domains of psychology and
neuroscience. It is often studied in a stop-signal task that requires subjects to inhibit an …

In humans, spontaneous movements are often preceded by early brain signals. One such
signal is the readiness potential (RP) that gradually arises within the last second preceding …
