“…Results showed no negativity after performance errors (compared to correct notes) in the time window of the feedback ERN/N200, elicited by the feedback manipulations. Performance errors only elicited an increased negativity prior to feedback onset and an increased positive potential around 280 msec after feedback onset (for further details on the ERPs of self-generated errors, see Maidhof et al, 2009). perception condition.…”

Musicians are highly trained motor experts with pronounced associations between musical actions and the corresponding auditory effects. However, the importance of auditory feedback for music performance is controversial, and it is unknown how feedback during music performance is processed. The present study investigated the neural mechanisms underlying the processing of auditory feedback manipulations in pianists. To disentangle effects of action-based and perception-based expectations, we compared feedback manipulations during performance to the mere perception of the same stimulus material. In two experiments, pianists performed bimanually sequences on a piano, while at random positions, the auditory feedback of single notes was manipulated, thereby creating a mismatch between an expected and actually perceived action effect (action condition). In addition, pianists listened to tone sequences containing the same manipulations (perception condition). The manipulations in the perception condition were either task-relevant (Experiment 1) or task-irrelevant (Experiment 2). In action and perception conditions, event-related potentials elicited by manipulated tones showed an early fronto-central negativity around 200 msec, presumably reflecting a feedback ERN/N200, followed by a positive deflection (P3a). The early negativity was more pronounced during the action compared to the perception condition. This shows that during performance, the intention to produce specific auditory effects leads to stronger expectancies than the expectancies built up during music perception.

“…ANOVAs were conducted with factor tone (correctly played, incorrectly played) for time windows of −150 to −80 msec, 140 to 240 msec, and 270 to 330 msec over a frontocentral ROI. For further details on the ERPs of self-generated errors, see Maidhof, Prinz, Rieger, & Koelsch (2009).…”

“…During copy typing, the template is an additional source of information. For error detection another source of information may be predictive processes, which predict movement consequences based on current motor commands (Rabbitt, 1978; Wolpert and Flanagan, 2001; Maidhof et al, 2009; see below). In the following we discuss each of these sources of information and how attention to them might be influenced by typing style.…”

“…However, the comparison of intended movement consequences and internally predicted movement consequences can lead to the detection of (some) errors in the absence of feedback. Errors may be detected even before the action is fully executed (i.e., before the actual movement consequence is available), even though they may still be committed (Maidhof et al, 2009). Subjectively, internally prediction may result in the impression that something is about to go wrong in the absence of any other feedback.…”

We investigated to what extent different sources of information are used in typing on a computer keyboard. Using self-reports 10 finger typists and idiosyncratic typists estimated how much attention they pay to different sources of information during copy typing and free typing and how much they use them for error detection. 10 finger typists reported less attention to the keyboard and the fingers and more attention to the template and the screen than idiosyncratic typists. The groups did not differ in attention to touch/kinaesthesis in copy typing and free typing, but 10 finger typists reported more use of touch/kinaesthesis in error detection. This indicates that processing of tactile/kinaesthetic information may occur largely outside conscious control, as long as no errors occur. 10 finger typists reported more use of internal prediction of movement consequences for error detection than idiosyncratic typists, reflecting more precise internal models. Further in copy typing compared to free typing attention to the template is required, thus leaving less attentional capacity for other sources of information. Correlations showed that higher skilled typists, regardless of typing style, rely more on sources of information which are usually associated with 10 finger typing. One limitation of the study is that only self-reports were used. We conclude that typing task, typing proficiency, and typing style influence how attention is distributed during typing.

“…In the context of piano performance, two recent electrophysiological studies found that around 70 ms prior to performance errors a negative component -termed pre-ERN and resembling the post-response ERNwas elicited in the event-related potentials (ERP; Herrojo Ruiz et al, 2009a;Maidhof et al, 2009). Performance errors (hereafter termed errors) in these settings consisted of playing an incorrect key (note) on the piano.…”
