TL;DR
This work focused on the relationship between self and other, and recorded ERPs during an alternative gambling task performed by two players (participant and virtual player), indicating that FRN reflects the evaluation on the basis of one's own evaluative criteria, regardless of the monetary outcome for another.
Abstract
The evaluation of whether an outcome is good or bad is reflected in feedback-related negativity (FRN), which is an event-related brain potential (ERP) component that is elicited by bad events. It is still, however, unclear how the FRN reflects the evaluation of outcomes induced by others. We focused on the relationship between self and other, and recorded ERPs during an alternative gambling task performed by two players (participant and virtual player). FRN was elicited not only by the losses of another in a cooperative situation but also by the gains of another in an antagonistic situation. These results indicate that FRN reflects the evaluation on the basis of one's own evaluative criteria, regardless of the monetary outcome for another.

After auditory stimuli the NE peaked much later for DA than for FA, which supports the idea of an asymmetrical allocation of processing resources to the disadvantage of the auditory modality in the authors' DA condition.

The error-related negativity is the manifestation of the activity of a generic neural system involved in error detection, and the distribution of the scalp potential was consistent with a local source in the anterior cingulate cortex or a more distributed sources in the supplementary motor areas.

Investigation of whether this component of the event-related brain potential that is elicited by feedback stimuli associated with unfavorable outcomes reflects an evaluation of the valence of experienced outcomes or a process of learning about actions that led to those outcomes found it to be sensitive to the motivational significance of ongoing events.

In both experiments, P300 amplitude was larger for unexpected feedback; however, the ERN was equally large for expected and unexpected negative feedback, and the potential role of expectations in processing errors and negative feedback was evaluated.

This study reports two experiments in which participants tried to learn to select between response options by trial and error, using feedback stimuli indicating monetary gains and losses, and demonstrates that the amplitude of the ERN is determined by the value of the eliciting outcome relative to the range of outcomes possible.

Brain potentials were recorded while the participant received outcome feedback for their own or for another person's performance in a gambling task, suggesting that similar neural mechanisms are involved in evaluating the outcomes of one's own and the other's actions.

It is confirmed that both the MFN and the SPN respond to the motivational properties of the feedback, suggesting that there could be two monitoring systems: one that leads to riskier responses following losses and a second that leading to heightened expectancy.

The observation of the ERN/N(e) following negative feedback during guessing suggests that this ERP component mirrors response evaluation processes comparing expected and actual response outcome rather than response conflict.

NeuroreportDiscrepancy between feedback negativity and subjective evaluation in gambling
43 Citations2005Atsuhito Toyomaki, Harumitsu Murohashi
The data demonstrate that feedback negativity was elicited not only by a monetary loss but also by an even outcome and was independent of the magnitude of monetary loss, and suggest feedback negativity is not always specific to both monetary loss and subjective rating of punishment.
