Most reward-related electroencephalogram (EEG) studies focus exclusively on the feedback-
related negativity (FRN, also known as feedback negativity or FN, medial-frontal negativity or …

While often seeming to investigate rather different problems, research into value-based
decision making and cognitive control have historically offered parallel insights into how …
