“…The contingent negative variation (CNV) is sensitive to the anticipation of (and attention to) an incoming stimulus in order to prepare a subsequent behavioral response (Tecce, 1971(Tecce, , 1972. As in many previous CNV studies (Cui et al, 2000), it appeared at fronto-central sites (maximally detected at FCz as in the current study).…”

“…As such, the fronto-centrally localized CNV is unlikely to be associated with the BP. A slow build-up of negativity or the 'type B CNV (Tecce, 1972)', is observed when participants are certain of the next stimulus' onset; its peak would be close to the forthcoming stimulus onset (so called, 'expectancy wave'; Walter et al, 1964). We observed that the CNV-like negativity was more rapidly formed in the tapping negative condition compared with the tapping positive condition.…”

“…One ERP component, the contingent negative variation (CNV), is associated with attention allocation in anticipation of an imperative stimulus to prepare a subsequent behavioral response with its peak exhibited around stimulus onset over the prefrontal cortex (i.e., type B CNV; Tecce, 1972). As such, the CNV would be associated with stimulus expectancy aspects of SMS.…”

Contingent negative variation (CNV) associated with sensorimotor timing error correction

Introduction: Detection and subsequent correction of sensorimotor timing errors is fundamental to adaptive behavior. Using scalp-recorded event-related potentials (ERPs), we sought to find ERP components that are predictive of error correction performance during rhythmic movements.Method: Healthy right-handed participants were asked to synchronize their finger taps to a regular tone sequence (every 600 ms), whilst EEG data were continuously recorded. Data from 15 participants were analyzed. Occasional irregularities were built into stimulus presentation timing: 90 ms before (advances: negative shift) or after (delays: positive shift) the expected time point. A tapping condition alternated with a listening condition in which identical stimulus sequence was presented but participants did not tap.Results: Behavioral error correction was observed immediately following a shift, with a degree of over-correction with positive shifts. Our stimulus-locked ERP data analysis revealed, 1) increased auditory N1 amplitude for the positive shift condition and decreased auditory N1 modulation for the negative shift condition; and 2) a second enhanced negativity (N2) in the tapping positive condition, compared with the tapping negative condition. In response-locked epochs, we observed a CNV (contingent negative variation)-like negativity with earlier latency in the tapping negative condition compared with the tapping positive condition. This CNV-like negativity peaked at around the onset of subsequent tapping, with the earlier the peak, the better the error correction performance with the negative shifts while the later the peak, the better the error correction performance with the positive shifts.Discussion: This study showed that the CNV-like negativity was associated with the error correction performance during our sensorimotor synchronization study. Auditory N1 and N2 were differentially involved in negative vs. positive error correction. However, we did not find 3 evidence for their involvement in behavioral error correction. Overall, our study provides the basis from which further research on the role of the CNV in perceptual and motor timing can be developed.

“…Cues signaling a forthcoming deviant in the long CueTone Interval elicited a clear visual P3b, but no such P3b was observable in the short CueTone Interval condition, which suggests that participants did not utilize the cue information in the short Cue-Tone Interval condition (Johnson & Donchin, 1978). This interpretation is corroborated by the presence of a slow negative shift (identifiable as a CNV, Walter et al, 1964; see also Tecce, 1972;Gaillard, 1976) following visual cues, which was higher (more negative) in the long Cue-Tone Interval condition, suggesting a stronger preparatory activity for the task-relevant sensory event. This suggests that although information on forthcoming tone distracters was available, participants were not using it; that is, they were not engaged in distraction preventing activities in the short Cue-Tone Interval condition, even though they could have prevented distraction.…”

“…For the short cue tone-intervals (Fig.3, 1 confirmed by the comparison of standards trials (Fig.3, 3 rd column), which shows that P3b was present only for deviant cues in the long cue-tone-interval condition but not in the others (obviously, the first visual stimulus is the same for deviant and standard cues for short cuetone intervals). Following the visual P3b, a slow negative shift, presumably a contingent negative variation (CNV, Walter et al, 1964;Tecce, 1972;Gaillard, 1976) was present for the stimuli in the long cue-tone interval condition in comparison to the short cue-tone interval condition (Fig.3, 3 rd and 4th columns). The significance of this unexpected finding was verified by a repeated measures Cue-Tone Interval × Tone × Cue Validity ANOVA of the average amplitudes measured in the -100-0 ms interval at FCz (Table 2, Fig.…”

Preparation interval and cue utilization in the prevention of distraction

Maintaining a selective attention set allows us to efficiently perform sensory tasks despite the multitude of concurrent sensory stimuli. Unpredictably occurring, rare events nonetheless capture our attention, that is, we get distracted. The present study investigated the efficiency of control over distraction as a function of preparation time available before a forthcoming distracter. A random sequence of short and long tones (100 or 200 ms with 50-50% probability) was presented. Independently from tone duration, occasionally (13.3% of the time), the pitch of a tone was changed. Such rare pitch variants (distracters) usually lead to delayed and less precise discrimination responses, and trigger a characteristic series of eventrelated potentials (ERPs) reflecting the stages of distraction-related processing: starting with negative ERPs signaling the sensory registration of the distracter; a P3a -usually interpreted as a reflection of involuntary attention change; and finally the so-called reorienting negativity signaling the restoration of the task-optimal attention set. In separate conditions, 663 or 346 ms before each tone (long or short cue-tone interval) a visual cue was presented, which signaled whether the forthcoming tone was a distracter (rare pitch variant), with 80% validity.As reflected by reduced reaction time delays and P3a amplitudes, valid cues led to the prevention of distraction, but only in the long cue-tone interval condition. The analyses of the cue-related P3b and contingent negative variation showed that participants made more effort to utilize cue-information to prevent distraction in the long cue-tone-, than in the short cuetone interval condition.
