TL;DR

It is suggested that the potential is related to the judgement not to move and/or the suppression of motor execution in monkeys in referring to recent experiments with monkeys.

Abstract

Twenty-three human subjects were asked to perform a go/no-go reaction-time hand movement task with discrimination between different color light signals, and potentials related to the discrimination task were recorded with plate electrodes placed on the scalp and analyzed by averaging procedures. A negative potential was found to be recorded specifically to no-go trials in the frontal-parietal part of 21 subjects out of 23 tested. In referring to our recent experiments with monkeys, it is suggested that the potential is related to the judgement not to move and/or the suppression of motor execution.

The average evoked-potential waveforms to sound and light stimuli recorded from scalp in awake human subjects show differences as a function of the subject's degree of uncertainty with respect to the sensory modality of the stimulus to be presented.

The ‘Hillyard effect’ was explained as being caused by a superimposition of a CNV kind of negative shift on the evoked potential to the attended stimuli rather than by a growth of the ‘real’ N 1 component of theevoked potential.

Auditory evoked potentials were recorded from the vertex of subjects who listened selectively to a series of tone pipping in one ear and ignored concurrent tone pips in the other ear to study the response set established to recognize infrequent, higher pitched tone pipped in the attended series.

It was concluded that the effect of selective auditory attention on the N1 component is not due solely to an enlargement of the exogenous N1 components of the vertex potential, but rather includes the addition of a prolonged endogenous component.

Both the parallel, self-terminating models and the holistic models provide a generalized mechanism for hierarchical stimulus selections that achieve an economy of processing, an underlying goal of classic, multiple-stage theories of selective attention.

The hypothesis that occipital potentials following relevant and irrelevant stimuli reflect not only differential processing ofrelevant and irrelevant information but also reflect a progressive change in the unit or specificity of the differential processing is supported.

The suppressor effect was compared with that produced by stimulating some other areas in the prefrontal cortex and the premotor cortex, and was found rather unique in those areas producible of the no-go potential.

The processing negativity was observed to have a later, frontal component of large amplitude and long duration which is certainly elicited with long ISIs such as the 800 msec and 2000 msec ISIs used here, but also appears to be present even in the short-ISI condition overlapping the central component, which suggests that it is the frontal component which is sensitive to the ISI.

It is suggested that the activity in the dorsal bank of the principal sulcus is related to the judgement not to execute the movement and/or the suppression of motor execution.
