“…Epochs of 300 ms before and 600 ms after the response were extracted from the continuous EEG and baseline-corrected using a 300-to 100-ms preresponse window. This window was chosen to avoid cancelling out error-related activity due to a start of the Ne/ERN before the completion of the motor response (e.g., Riesel, Weinberg, Endrass, Meyer, & Hajcak, 2013). Epochs were excluded if the voltage on an EOG channel exceeded 400 μV to remove trials with large EOG peaks.…”

Detecting behavioral errors is critical for optimizing performance. Here, we tested whether error monitoring is enhanced in emotional task contexts, and whether this enhancement depends on processing internal affective states. Event-related potentials were recorded in individuals with low and high levels of alexithymia-that is, individuals with difficulties identifying and describing their feelings. We administered a face word Stroop paradigm (Egner, Etkin, Gale, & Hirsch, 2008) in which the task was to classify emotional faces either with respect to their expression (happy or fearful; emotional task set) or with respect to their gender (female or male; neutral task set). The error-related negativity, a marker of rapid error monitoring, was enhanced in individuals with low alexithymia when they adopted the emotional task set. By contrast, individuals with high alexithymia did not show such an enhancement. Moreover, in the high-alexithymia group, the difference in the error-related negativities between the emotional and neutral task sets correlated negatively with difficulties identifying their own feelings, as measured by the Toronto Alexithymia Scale. These results show that errormonitoring activity is stronger in emotional task contexts and that this enhancement depends on processing internal affective states.

The Emotiv EPOC interface paradigm in Human-Computer Interaction

Abstract.Numerous studies have suggested the use of decoded error potentials in the brain to improve human-computer communication.Together with state-of-the-art scientific equipment, experiments have also tested instruments with more limited performance for the time being, such as Emotiv EPOC. This study presents a review of these trials and a summary of the results obtained. However, the level of these results indicates a promising prospect for using this headset as a human-computer interface for error decoding.

“…The described inconsistencies in results between tasks further suggest that error monitoring may occur differently across tasks (Cavanagh et al, 2010;Grundler et al, 2009) and this may differently be modulated by psychopathology like OCD (Grundler et al, 2009;Kaczkurkin, 2013;Mathews et al, 2012;Nieuwenhuis et al, 2005). Although error-related ERPs are highly correlated among response conflict tasks, there is also a considerable amount of variance due to task-specific influences (Meyer, Riesel, & Proudfit, 2013;Riesel et al, 2013;Segalowitz et al, 2010). Therefore, future studies that use a variety of tasks to examine error monitoring in OC subject or patients may increase our understanding of common and distinct processes in performance monitoring across tasks and lead to a better understanding of the structure and function as well as dysfunctions of a performance monitoring system.…”

“…These findings indicate that group differences might not be obtained in tasks that are very difficult (Kaczkurkin, 2013), do not include response conflict, have a undetermined stimulus-response mapping or require learning . Together with results indicating that the ERN varies significantly across tasks (Hoffmann & Falkenstein, 2010;Riesel, Weinberg, Endrass, Meyer, & Hajcak, 2013;Segalowitz et al, 2010) this emphasizes the impact of varying task characteristics on electrophysiological markers of performance monitoring and highlights the need to examine a wide range of task and systematically explore the influence of task characteristics.…”
