Scientific evidence based on neuroimaging approaches over the last decade has
demonstrated the efficacy of physical activity improving cognitive health across the human …

Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is a part of the brain's limbic system. Classically, this region
has been related to affect, on the basis of lesion studies in humans and in animals. In the …

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 …

A neglected question regarding cognitive control is how control processes might detect
situations calling for their involvement. The authors propose here that the demand for control …

The Handbook of Psychophysiology, 3rd Edition is an essential reference for students,
researchers, and professionals in the behavioral, cognitive, and biological sciences …

According to a recent theory, anterior cingulate cortex is sensitive to response conflict, the
coactivation of mutually incompatible responses. The present research develops this theory …

We examined scalp-recorded event-related potentials following feedback stimuli in a time-
estimation task. Six hundred msec after indicating the end of a 1 sec interval, subjects …

Some years ago we described a negative (Ne) and a later positive (Pe) deflection in the
event-related brain potentials (ERPs) of incorrect choice reactions [Falkenstein, M …

We propose that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) contributes to cognition by detecting the
presence of conflict during information processing, and to alert systems involved in top-down …

In visual Go/Nogo tasks the ERP usually shows a frontal negativity after Nogo stimuli (“Nogo-
N2”), which possibly reflects an inhibition process. However, the Nogo-N2 appears to be …
