“…Using methodologies similar to those presented here, Hajcak (2009a,2009b) demonstrated that the error-related negativity can be quantified with relatively few trials (6) and shows high internal consistency (4.7). Similar results (rs4.6) have been reported by Larson et al (2010) and Segalowitz et al (2010). Relatedly, the oddball P3 waveform, an ERP thought to index similar processes as b r a i n r e s e a r c h 1 5 1 6 ( 2 0 1 3 ) 6 6 -7 5 the LPP, shows comparable reliability to those reported here (4.6; Fallgatter et al, 2001;Sandman and Patterson, 2000;Segalowitz and Barnes, 1993;Walhovd and Fjell, 2002;Williams et al, 2005; however, it should be noted that these studies largely focused on test-retest reliability) and can be quantified with as few as 20 trials (Cohen and Polich, 1997).…”

“…With respect to stability with increasing trials, we initially generated bins of increasingly greater numbers of trials (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 trials; for a similar method, see Cohen and Polich, 1997;Olvet and Hajcak, 2009a;Larson et al, 2010) separately for each condition and time window; trials were randomly selected for inclusion. We then evaluated mean amplitudes using a single-factor repeated measures ANOVA (Number of Trials: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, grand average).…”

“…Sixty-two individuals were recruited from undergraduate psychology courses and randomly assigned to either a mindfulness group or a control group (initial n = 31 per group). Data from seven participants, three from the mindfulness group and four from the control group, were excluded; one due to equipment malfunction and six due to having fewer than six useable error trials after artifact rejection and correction (Olvet and Hajcak, 2009; Larson et al, 2010). Thus, final study enrollment included 28 individuals (12 female) in the mindfulness group and 27 (14 female) in the control group.…”

Meditation is associated with positive health behaviors and improved cognitive control. One mechanism for the relationship between meditation and cognitive control is changes in activity of the anterior cingulate cortex-mediated neural pathways. The error-related negativity (ERN) and error positivity (Pe) components of the scalp-recorded event-related potential (ERP) represent cingulate-mediated functions of performance monitoring that may be modulated by mindfulness meditation. We utilized a flanker task, an experimental design, and a brief mindfulness intervention in a sample of 55 healthy non-meditators (n = 28 randomly assigned to the mindfulness group and n = 27 randomly assigned to the control group) to examine autonomic nervous system functions as measured by blood pressure and indices of cognitive control as measured by response times, error rates, post-error slowing, and the ERN and Pe components of the ERP. Systolic blood pressure significantly differentiated groups following the mindfulness intervention and following the flanker task. There were non-significant differences between the mindfulness and control groups for response times, post-error slowing, and error rates on the flanker task. Amplitude and latency of the ERN did not differ between groups; however, amplitude of the Pe was significantly smaller in individuals in the mindfulness group than in the control group. Findings suggest that a brief mindfulness intervention is associated with reduced autonomic arousal and decreased amplitude of the Pe, an ERP associated with error awareness, attention, and motivational salience, but does not alter amplitude of the ERN or behavioral performance. Implications for brief mindfulness interventions and state vs. trait affect theories of the ERN are discussed. Future research examining graded levels of mindfulness and tracking error awareness will clarify relationship between mindfulness and performance monitoring.

“…2 for all effector conditions also show the absence of oculomotor contamination of the scalp ERPs and verify the appropriateness of our artifact rejection criterion. Rare no-stop trials with no responses were excluded, and a minimum of 20 trials in any condition was required for study inclusion (Larson et al 2010). An independent two-sample t-test revealed no significant difference across conditions (noncanceled and no-stop trials) in the total number of rejected trials due to artifacts or missed responses in experiments 1, 2, and 3 (P Ͻ 0.98, P Ͻ 0.97, and P Ͻ 0.97, respectively).…”

J Neurophysiol 107: 2794 -2807, 2012. First published February 22, 2012 doi:10.1152/jn.00803.2011.-Although previous research with human and nonhuman primates has examined the neural correlates of performance monitoring, discrepancies in methodology have limited our ability to make cross-species generalizations. One major obstacle arises from the use of different behavioral responses and tasks across different primate species. Specifically, it is unknown whether performance-monitoring mechanisms rely on different neural circuitry in tasks requiring oculomotor vs. skeletomotor responses. Here, we show that the human error-related negativity (ERN) elicited by a saccadic eye-movement response relative to a manual response differs in several critical ways. The human saccadic ERN exhibits a prolonged duration, a broader frontomedial voltage distribution, and different neural source estimates than the manual ERN in exactly the same stop-signal task. The human saccadic error positivity (Pe) exhibited a frontomedial voltage distribution with estimated electrical sources in supplementary motor area and rostral anterior cingulate cortex for saccadic responses, whereas the manual Pe showed a posterior scalp distribution and potential origins in the superior parietal lobule. These findings constrain models of the cognitive mechanisms indexed by the ERN/Pe complex. Moreover, by paralleling work with nonhuman primates performing the same saccadic stop-signal task (Godlove et al. 2011), we demonstrate a cross-species homology of error event-related potentials (ERPs) and lay the groundwork for definitively localizing the neural sources of performance-monitoring ERPs.countermanding; error detection; error-related negativity; executive control; performance monitoring NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES of performance-monitoring mechanisms in humans and macaque monkeys have proven to be critical in shaping models of executive control (Alexander and Brown 2010). Although nonhuman primate studies indicate that areas in medial frontal cortex of macaque monkeys produce signals sufficient to monitor performance and exert executive control (e.g., Emeric et al.
