Surprise!… Surprise?

ABSTRACT The nature of the psychophysiological enterprise is examined as it bears on the study of the endogenous components of event‐related brain potentials (ERP). The view is ...

The mental prosthesis: assessing the speed of a P300-based brain-computer interface

We describe a study designed to assess a brain-computer interface (BCI), originally described by Farwell and Donchin [9] in 1988. The system utilizes the fact that the rare even...

The contingent negative variation and the late positive wave of the average evoked potential

A Neural System for Error Detection and Compensation

Humans can monitor actions and compensate for errors. Analysis of the human event-related brain potentials (ERPs) accompanying errors provides evidence for a neural process whos...

Event‐related brain potentials and error‐related processing: An analysis of incorrect responses to go and no‐go stimuli

Abstract Recent research has suggested that there is a component of the event‐related brain potential, the error‐related negativity (ERN), that is associated with error detectio...
