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 …

The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and associated regions of the medial frontal wall
have often been hypothesized to play an important role in cognitive control. We have …

The authors present a unified account of 2 neural systems concerned with the development
and expression of adaptive behaviors: a mesencephalic dopamine system for reinforcement …

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 …

Neuroimaging and computational modeling studies have led to the suggestion that
response conflict monitoring by the anterior cingulate cortex plays a key role in cognitive …

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been shown to respond to conflict between
simultaneously active, incompatible response tendencies. This area is active during high …

The error negativity (Ne/ERN) and error positivity (Pe) are two components of the event-
related brain potential (ERP) that are associated with action monitoring and error detection …

Successful goal-directed behavior requires not only correct action selection, planning, and
execution but also the ability to flexibly adapt behavior when performance problems occur or …

Performance monitoring is an important executive function that allows us to gain insight into
our own behaviour. This remarkable ability relies on the frontal cortex, and its impairment is …

The functional significance of the N2 in go/no-go tasks was investigated by comparing
electrophysiological data obtained from two tasks: a go/no-go task involving both response …
