“…This has been shown, for example, during anticipation of performance feedback, money, erotic photos, and electric shocks (reviewed in Brunia, Hackley, van Boxtel, Kotani, & Ohgami, ). Considerable evidence links the SPN to the dopaminergic reward system (Foti & Hajcak, ; Hackley, Valle‐Inclán, Masaki, & Hebert, ; Mattox, Hackley & Valle‐Inclán, ; Wynn, Horan, Kring, Simons, & Green, ; Zhang, Li, Wang, Liu, & Zheng, ).…”

“…The relation of valence to SPN is not well understood (discussed in Brunia et al, ; Ohgami et al, ). When expected gain and loss conditions are directly compared, results show either equally large SPNs (Angus et al, ; Donkers, Niewenhuis, & van Boxtel, ; Zheng et al, ), larger ones in certain conditions with expected gain (Li et al, ; Zhang et al, ; Zheng, Li, Wang, Wu, & Liu, ), or a relative topographical shift toward the left hemisphere for potential gain contexts (Ohgami et al, ). No study has reported larger SPN amplitudes in a loss than gain context, to our knowledge.…”

Anterior insula activity and the effect of agency on the Stimulus‐Preceding Negativity

If you know that you are the author of a freely chosen action and that you bear responsibility for its outcome, then you are said to have “a sense of agency.” When there is a delay between action and outcome, this response must be remembered if you are to learn from the experience. Previous studies have shown that the Stimulus‐Preceding Negativity (SPN) recorded during the delay interval is larger under conditions that foster a sense of agency. In an EEG experiment (N = 27), we confirmed that the SPN is larger when participants have a choice between two responses in a gambling task as compared to when there is only a single button and the computer determines the monetary outcome. This SPN agency effect was largest over right prefrontal cortex and it did not vary significantly between trial blocks in which only gains or only losses were possible. Participants in a second experiment (N = 26) performed the same task while activity in anterior insular cortex, a known SPN generator, was measured via functional magnetic resonance image (fMRI). An essentially identical pattern of results was obtained: Activity was greater on choice than no‐choice trials, especially for the right hemisphere, and no effect of contextual valence was observed. Although parallel observations such as these cannot warrant causal inference, our findings are consistent with the assumption that anterior insular cortex contributes to the effect of agency on the SPN.

“…Specifically, the SPN was larger over the right compared to left hemisphere in a loss context, but this right hemisphere preponderance disappeared in a gain context. Similarly, our recent studies have found that the SPN was enhanced following high‐ versus low‐risk decisions in a gain but not loss context (Zheng, Li, Wang, Wu, & Liu, ) and that this component predicted the willingness to expend effort for monetary rewards in a gain, rather than a loss, context (Zhang et al, ). From existing data, it remains therefore unclear whether incentive anticipation, as indexed by the SPN, is modulated by incentive valence.…”

“…Furthermore, the main generator of the SPN is the right anterior insula (Böcker, Brunia, & van den Berg‐Lenssen, ; Brunia, de Jong, van den Berg‐Lenssen, & Paans, ; Kotani et al, ), a core brain region involved in incentive anticipation (Knutson & Greer, ). Previous research has demonstrated that SPN amplitude is enhanced before gain relative to nongain feedback (Kotani, Hiraku, Suda, & Aihara, ; Kotani et al, ; Ohgami, Kotani, Hiraku, Aihara, & Ishii, ), is linked with the mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic pathway (Foti & Hajcak, ; Mattox, Valle‐Inclán, & Hackley, ; Zhang, Li, Wang, Liu, & Zheng, ), and has a close association with the feedback‐related negativity (FRN) indexing motivational evaluation (Morís, Luque, & Rodríguez‐Fornells, ; Zheng et al, ).…”

“…From existing data, it remains therefore unclear whether incentive anticipation, as indexed by the SPN, is modulated by incentive valence. This uncertainty is perhaps due to different paradigms employed in previous research, including passive viewing tasks (Donkers et al, ), simple learning tasks (Fuentemilla et al, ), simple gambling games (Zheng et al, ), and simple behavior response tasks (Ohgami et al, ; Zhang et al, ).…”

The stimulus-preceding negativity (SPN) is a reliable index of incentive anticipation. However, it remains controversial whether the anticipatory process indexed by the SPN is modulated by incentive valence. The present study investigated the effect of valence on the SPN in a gambling task that required participants to make a binary (gain vs. loss) prediction after their choice on trials with different reward probabilities. Behaviorally, the participants exhibited a positive bias in their prediction. Electrophysiologically, a valence asymmetry was observed for the SPN. Specifically, the SPN was more pronounced when the participants made a gain relative to loss prediction, which was specific over the left hemisphere. Moreover, the SPN showed an uncertainty effect with enhanced amplitudes before uncertain versus certain outcomes, which tended to be pronounced during gain compared to loss anticipation. These findings indicated that the SPN is more sensitive to positive relative to negative valence, which may be mediated by the mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic pathway.© 2018 Society for Psychophysiological Research.
