Outcome of a behavioral response can be detected either internally at the time of the response commission, or externally through a feedback signal. In both cases, a number of brain networks that subserve cognitive control are recruited, all networks having certain distinctive signatures in electroencephalographic oscillations. Yet most studies in the field have several limitations. First, typical behavioral tasks depend heavily upon inhibition of prepotent responses – thus they mostly exploit control of the motor threshold rather than the full range of processes related to cognitive control. Second, these studies were conducted in the visual modality, leaving it unclear whether the oscillatory phenomena found in these studies truly relate to cognitive control or they reflect effects specific to the tasks used. Here, we studied outcome-related adjustments by analyzing response-related and feedback-related modulations of theta, alpha, and beta band activity in the auditory version of the condensation task, which bears no inherent dependence upon inhibition of prepotent responses and which is administered in the auditory modality. Frontal midline theta (FMT) activity was enhanced after errors compared with correct trials, and after negative feedback compared with positive feedback. Alpha band suppression in the parieto-occipital region was enhanced in the late post-error interval. Frontal beta oscillatory activity was increased on correct trials during positive feedback onset. These findings indicate that several separate neuronal networks are involved in post-error and post-feedback adjustments: the midfrontal performance monitoring network, the parietal attentional network, and the frontal reward-processing network. Our findings extend the current knowledge concerning the functional role of theta, alpha, and beta band oscillations in cognitive control beyond a limited range of tasks and beyond the visual modality.

Cognitive control includes maintenance of task-specific processes related to attention, and non-specific regulation of motor threshold. Generally, two different kinds of errors may occur, with some errors related to attentional lapses and decision uncertainty, and some errors – to failures of sustaining motor threshold. Error commission leads to adaptive adjustments in brain networks that subserve ...

Cognitive control includes maintenance of task-specific processes related to attention, and non-specific regulation of motor threshold. Depending upon the nature of the behavioral tasks, these mechanisms may predispose to different kinds of errors, with either increased or decreased response time of erroneous responses relative to correct responses. Specifically, slow responses are related to attentional lapses ...

Cognitive control includes specific maintenance of sustained attention to a stimulus
and non-specific regulation of a motor threshold. Failures in each system lead to different
types of errors, associated with attentional lapses and uncertainty or dysfunction of
the motor threshold. Subsequent adaptive adjustments can be implemented through two
different mechanisms, depending on the type of error. Two experiments were ...

Error commission leads to adaptive adjustments in a number of brain networks that subserve goal-directed behavior, resulting in either enhanced stimulus processing or increased motor threshold depending on the nature of errors committed. Here, we studied these adjustments by analyzing post-error modulations of alpha and theta band activity in the auditory version of the two-choice ...

In tasks involving response choice based on certain stimulus-to-response mappings, at least two stages of information processing may be involved: (1) formation of sensory stimulus object representations leading to stimulus identification, and (2) application of stimulus-to-response mappings (i.e. “task rules”) to these representations leading to response selection. Most of the research done in this area ...

Cognitive control is a set of processes that are responsible for flexible goal-directed behaviour. We did a series of electroencephalographic experiments during the auditory condensation task. The findings obtained allow distinguishing three brain networks that carry out adaptive processes after error commission. We also show that increased response time is associated with lower level of ...

Experiments involving participant’s response recording by way of pressing buttons
are quite common. This simple method allows estimation of such crucial parameters as response
time and response correctness. However, more detailed analysis of behavioral responses
is needed in some cases. Crucial aspects within the cognitive control research field
include the conflict before decision-making, error detection after response commission and
internal ...

Successful performance in complex tasks depends upon the functioning of the cognitive control system involving the maintenance of sustained attention, retention and activation of task rules, as well as the inhibition of preliminary responses. Failure of any of these functions can lead to performance errors. In this study, we investigated behavioral data obtained from participants ...

One of the topics in current psycholinguistics research is studying the factors affecting syntactic choice in sentence production. Previous research suggests that syntactic choice results from an interplay between linguistic and non-linguistic factors, and a speaker’s attention to the elements of a described event represents one such factor. It is a well-established fact that our ...

The state of mind wandering is related to complete or partial detachment of attention from external information. Under this state, attention switches from the ongoing primary task towards unrelated thoughts, fantasies and feelings. Current understanding of the role of cognitive control in the initiation and sustaining the state of mind wandering is ambiguous, and specific ...

Commission of error causes the adjustments in a number of brain systems related to goal-directed behavior. Errors may be caused by failures of motor inhibition or by general attentional lapses, which lead to the different neural adjustments with their specific electrophysiological and behavioral correlates (van Driel et al., 2012; Danielmeier and Ullsperger, 2011). Thus, post-error ...

Успешное выполнение когнитивных задач требует скоординированной работы различных систем мозга, связанных, в частности, с поддержанием уровня внимания и с торможением нежелательных реакций [1]. Совершение ошибок приводят к адаптационным процессам, отражающимся в поведенческих показателях и в изменении электрической активности мозга. Например, усиление фронтального тета-ритма отражает активацию медиальной фронтальной коры, связанную с обнаружением ошибок [2], а подавление ...

Current understanding of feature binding remains controversial. Studies involving mismatch negativity (MMN) measurement show a low level of binding, whereas behavioral experiments suggest a higher level. We examined the possibility that the two levels of feature binding coexist and may be shown within one experiment. The electroencephalogram was recorded while participants were engaged in an ...

Attentional lapses are usually viewed as a result of deterioration in cognitive control. Current theories suggest that deterioration in the cognitive control may be related to an increase in alpha rhythm power, although it is not clear whether this notion can be generalized outside of the visual task modality. In the current study power of ...
