Many theories of human cognition assume that mechanisms exist to oversee the operation
of the information processing system. The concept of an information processing overseer is …

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 …

The error negativity (Ne/ERN) and error positivity (Pe) are two components of the event-
related brain potential (ERP) that are associated with action monitoring and error detection …

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 detection and …

Gehring, Goss, Coles, Meyer, and Donchin (1993) have reported electrophysiological
evidence for a brain mechanism dedicated to monitoring performance and compensating for …

C ognitive control, the ability to flexibly adjust behavior in the context of dynamically
changing goals and environmental demands, is a central human cognitive ability that also …

Historical background of error detection (ED) studies is restored here from the first
suggestion of such a mechanism published (Rabbit, 1966) and the first related anatomo …

Errors during speeded response tasks are typically immediately followed by a large
component in the event-related potential, the error-related negativity; various lines of …

The concept of error detection plays a central role in theories of executive control. In this
article, the authors present a mechanism that can rapidly detect errors in speeded response …

We examined scalp-recorded event-related potentials following feedback stimuli in a time-
estimation task. Six hundred msec after indicating the end of a 1 sec interval, subjects …
