“…The CRN on trials where there is a partial error reaches an intermediate amplitude, because the remediation process (i.e., error correction) takes time and allows the CRN to increase for the duration. Other data consistent with the notion that the ERN and CRN are reflections of the same cognitive control process have been provided by Suchan, Jokisch, Skotara, and Daum (2007) and more recently by Meckler et al (2009). In each of these experiments, conditions (e.g., target expectancies) were developed in which the CRN following correct responses was not a small negativity but was actually a larger negativity than the ERN that followed errors.…”

Negative feedback, either internal or external, is a fundamental guide to human learning and performance. The neural system that underlies the monitoring of performance and the adjustment of behavior has been subject to multiple neuroimaging investigations that uniformly implicate the anterior cingulate cortex and other prefrontal structures as crucial to these executive functions. The present article describes a series of experiments that employed event-related potentials to study a variety of processes associated with internal or external feedback. Three medial-frontal negativities (error-related negativity, correct-response negativity, feedback-related negativity) are highlighted, each of which plays an important role in the monitoring and dynamic adjustment of behavior. Extensions of basic research on these ERPs to questions relevant to clinical-science are also provided.

“…This may arise because of incongruent sensory information [97, 98] or because a non-selected response is prepotent [99]. More generally, mechanisms generating broad motor inhibition may serve to regulate the trade-off between speed and accuracy [100]: When the emphasis is on accuracy, inhibition might be used to raise the selection threshold.…”

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies in humans have shown that many behaviors engage processes that suppress excitability within the corticospinal tract. Inhibition of the motor output pathway has been extensively studied in the context of action stopping, where a planned movement needs to be abruptly aborted. Recent TMS work has also revealed markers of motor inhibition during the preparation of movement. Here, we review the evidence for motor inhibition during action stopping and action preparation, focusing on studies that have used TMS to monitor changes in the excitability of the corticospinal pathway. We discuss how these physiological results have motivated theoretical models of how the brain selects actions, regulates movement initiation and execution, and switches from one state to another.

“…Other examples of low-density CSD applications involve basic and applied research applications concerned with focal, motor-related activations (e.g., Amengual et al, 2014; Burle et al, 2015; Meckler et al, 2011; Vidal et al, 2003, 2015). Particularly in clinical settings, for which high-resolution EEG is often not feasible, the surface Laplacian transformation can maximize the signal-to-noise ratio for the measure of interest (e.g., Cincotti et al, 2004; McFarland, 2014; McFarland et al, 1997).…”

Despite the recognition that the surface Laplacian may counteract adverse effects of volume conduction and recording reference for surface potential data, electrophysiology as a discipline has been reluctant to embrace this approach for data analysis. The reasons for such hesitation are manifold but often involve unfamiliarity with the nature of the underlying transformation, as well as intimidation by a perceived mathematical complexity, and concerns of signal loss, dense electrode array requirements, or susceptibility to noise. We revisit the pitfalls arising from volume conduction and the mandated arbitrary choice of EEG reference, describe the basic principle of the surface Laplacian transform in an intuitive fashion, and exemplify the differences between common reference schemes (nose, linked mastoids, average) and the surface Laplacian for frequently-measured EEG spectra (theta, alpha) and standard event-related potential (ERP) components, such as N1 or P3. We specifically review common reservations against the universal use of the surface Laplacian, which can be effectively addressed by employing spherical spline interpolations with an appropriate selection of the spline flexibility parameter and regularization constant. We argue from a pragmatic perspective that not only are these reservations unfounded but that the continued predominant use of surface potentials poses a considerable impediment on the progress of EEG and ERP research.
