“…We combined temporal EEG signal decomposition using RIDE with topographical EEG signal decomposition (Group‐ICA) and performed EEG source localization using sLORETA. Generally, EEG signal decomposition methods and concatenations thereof are useful to detect fine‐grain cognitive neurophysiological dynamics in EEG data (Barry & De Blasio, 2018; Dien, 2010; Dien et al, 2003; Kayser & Tenke, 2006; Messel et al, 2021; Petruo et al, 2021). Our results showed that perception‐integration codes that were isolated using a temporal decomposition method in EEG signal (RIDE C‐cluster) are constituted by independent spatial scalp activity profiles associated with distinct functional neuroanatomical structures.…”

Perception‐action integration during inhibitory control is reflected in a concomitant multi‐region processing of specific codes in the neurophysiological signal

The integration of perception and action has long been studied in psychological science using overarching cognitive frameworks. Despite these being very successful in explaining perception‐action integration, little is known about its neurophysiological and especially the functional neuroanatomical foundations. It is unknown whether distinct brain structures are simultaneously involved in the processing of perception‐action integration codes and also to what extent demands on perception‐action integration modulate activities in these structures. We investigate these questions in an EEG study integrating temporal and ICA‐based EEG signal decomposition with source localization. For this purpose, we used data from 32 healthy participants who performed a ‘TEC Go/Nogo’ task. We show that the EEG signal can be decomposed into components carrying different informational aspects or processing codes relevant for perception‐action integration. Importantly, these specific codes are processed independently in different brain structures, and their specific roles during the processing of perception‐action integration differ. Some regions (i.e., the anterior cingulate and insular cortex) take a ‘default role’ because these are not modulated in their activity by demands or the complexity of event file coding processes. In contrast, regions in the motor cortex, middle frontal, temporal, and superior parietal cortices were not activated by ‘default’ but revealed modulations depending on the complexity of perception‐action integration (i.e., whether an event file has to be reconfigured). Perception‐action integration thus reflects a multi‐region processing of specific fractions of information in the neurophysiological signal. This needs to be taken into account when further developing a cognitive science framework detailing perception‐action integration.

“…Thus, it is possible that this was due to exerting a particular control strategy, such as initiating theta activity proactively to prevent errors from occuring, or relying more on the error-correcting mode of theta instead. Although mid-frontal theta is considered to be a general mechanism activated whenever there is a need for control (Cavanagh & Frank, 2014; Cavanagh & Shackman, 2015; Cohen & Donner, 2013), theta has been also implicated in different control strategies (Cooper et al, 2015; Eisma, Rawls, Long, Mach, & Lamm, 2021; Messel, Raud, Hoff, Stubberud, & Huster, 2021), such as proactive or reactive (Eisma et al, 2021). While the present data did not allow us to test these ideas, it points to potentially interesting future studies examining how different degrees and strategies of cognitive control affect theta signatures.…”

Mid-frontal theta is well-known to be involved in conflict and error-processing. In paradigms known to evoke response conflict, the temporal sequence of events leading up to conflict or error resolution and theta's involvement in such scenarios is not well understood. Using single-trial analyses of electrophysiological data from participants performing the Flanker (N = 28) and Simon paradigm (N = 18), we probed the relationship between transient theta activity and the underlying metrics of response conflict. We specifically investigated "partial errors", in which a small burst of muscle activity in the incorrect response effector occurred, quickly followed by a correction. We found evidence for two modes of theta activity, one of which was strongly related to the partial errors. The temporal distribution of this mode of theta was different in the partial error trials compared to the correct trials with no partial error. Furthermore, we saw that this mode of theta occurred later in trials in which a full error was committed. Our findings point to a possible role of theta in error-correction. This adds to the wider theoretical understanding of mid-frontal theta and the possibility of multiple functional roles of theta in different contexts.

“…This engages both proactive and reactive cognitive control processes. Proactive control refers to a sustained process of maintaining task goals in anticipation of need for control (e.g., anticipating each upcoming trial could require response inhibition), while reactive control involves detecting and resolving interference following a stimulus (e.g., reacting to No-Go cues which signal the need to inhibit; Braver, 2012;Messel et al, 2021). Individuals with BD show impairments on affective and nonaffective Go/No-Go tasks, including slowed reaction times and increased rates of failure both to execute responses on Go trials and to inhibit responses on No-Go trials (Wright et al, 2014).…”
