TL;DR
In six human subjects negative slow potentials associated with voluntary movements and discrimination tasks were studied and could be divided into three groups:central-dominant potential (‘readiness potential’) which is suggested to be a sign of general readiness to perform a task, flank-frontal potential which seems to be related to the uncertainty of the subject and contingency negative variation.
Abstract
In six human subjects negative slow potentials associated with voluntary movements and discrimination tasks were studied. On the basis of their spatial distribution on the scalp the slow potentials could be divided into three groups:

Potentials recorded from the scalp of human subjects preceding voluntary finger movements may be devided into 3 components: a slowly increasing surface negative readiness potential, a surface negative motor potential and a pre-motion positivity.

The waveform of evoked responses recorded from human scalp is not determined solely by the physical eliciting stimulus, but also varies as a function of the effective information provided by the stimulus.

The MP field distribution was shown to be compatible with its generation by a source of comparable size to the excitable motor cortex and shows a somatotopic distribution for contractions of various muscles similar to that obtained by cortical stimulation.

Electroencephalographic recordings obtained prior to and during voluntary muscular contractions of human subjects were analyzed by the summation method and a characteristic wave form called the “motor potential” (MP) was found to be associated with foot dorsiflexion and fist contraction.

The results show that human vertex response satisfies several main characteristics of habituation, and follows approximately a negative exponential function of the number of stimulus presentations.

The CNV produced during voluntary eye movements was quantitatively partitioned into an artifactual component caused by ocular rotation (the EAP), which summated with the second component, presumably of cerebral origin, called the “true” or tCNV.

The results suggested that the extent of the reduction was related to the degree of attention focussed on the distracting stimuli as opposed to the stimuli directly relevant to the experimental task.

If the contingent negative variation is a measure of “expectancy’ then the definition of such a term must explicity include motivational factors, as indicated by results of two experiments with young adult human males.

BSPs were taken from scalp electrodes overlying the left and right Rolandic areas of eleven human subjects under two conditions, baseline and reward, showing some common neural and behavioral substrates for the BSP and the DC shift known as the Contingent Negative Variation.
ScienceAttention Reduction and Suppressed Direct-Current Potentials in the Human Brain

Contingent negative variation and reaction time appear to reflect a common process, attention, which suppresses direct-current potentials recorded from the human scalp.

A significant negative correlation between size of CNV and reaction time was found over a large group of trials and the relation of the CNV to subjective expectancy and intention to respond was discussed.

Experiments were done in man in an attempt to define more extensively the psychological factors involved in contingent or conative negative variation (CNV) genesis, and CNVs are additive if two anticipations are superimposed in time or if a subject is expecting to perform more than one response of the same kind.

It was concluded that use of a microswitch for signalling motor response introduces a significant delay in comparison with an electromyographic measure.
