Error awareness and the error-related negativity: evaluating the first decade of evidence by Wessel, Jan R

“…From its discovery in the early 1990s until this day, the error-related negativity (ERN) remains the most widely investigated electrophysiological index of…”

Perceptual Surprise Improves Action Stopping by Nonselectively Suppressing Motor Activity via a Neural Mechanism for Motor Inhibition by Dutra, Isabella C, Waller, Darcy A, Wessel, Jan R

“…Motor inhibition is a cognitive control ability that allows humans to stop actions rapidly even after initiation. Understanding and improving motor inhibition…”

Frontal theta is a signature of successful working memory manipulation by Itthipuripat, Sirawaj, Wessel, Jan R., Aron, Adam R.

“…It has been proposed that working memory (WM) is updated/manipulated via a fronto-basal-ganglia circuit. One way that this could happen is via the…”

Surprise and error: common neuronal architecture for the processing of errors and novelty by Wessel, Jan R, Danielmeier, Claudia, Morton, J Bruce, Ullsperger, Markus

“…According to recent accounts, the processing of errors and generally infrequent, surprising (novel) events share a common neuroanatomical substrate. Direct…”

Conscious perception of errors and its relation to the anterior insula by Ullsperger, Markus, Harsay, Helga A., Wessel, Jan R., Ridderinkhof, K. Richard

“…To detect erroneous action outcomes is necessary for flexible adjustments and therefore a prerequisite of adaptive, goal-directed behavior. While performance…”

Surprise disrupts cognition via a fronto-basal ganglia suppressive mechanism by Wessel, Jan R., Jenkinson, Ned, Brittain, John-Stuart, Voets, Sarah H. E. M., Aziz, Tipu Z., Aron, Adam R.

“…Surprising events markedly affect behaviour and cognition, yet the underlying mechanism is unclear. Surprise recruits a brain mechanism that globally…”

Frontal cortex tracks surprise separately for different sensory modalities but engages a common inhibitory control mechanism by Wessel, Jan R, Huber, David E

“…The brain constantly generates predictions about the environment to guide action. Unexpected events lead to surprise and can necessitate the modification of…”

Right inferior frontal gyrus damage is associated with impaired initiation of inhibitory control, but not its implementation by Choo, Yoojeong, Matzke, Dora, Bowren, Jr, Mark D, Tranel, Daniel, Wessel, Jan R

“…Inhibitory control is one of the most important control functions in the human brain. Much of our understanding of its neural basis comes from seminal work…”

Prepotent motor activity and inhibitory control demands in different variants of the go/no‐go paradigm by Wessel, Jan R.

“…Inhibitory control enables humans to stop prepotent motor activity, and is commonly studied using go/no‐go or stop‐signal tasks. In stop‐signal tasks,…”

Non-selective inhibition of inappropriate motor-tendencies during response-conflict by a fronto-subthalamic mechanism by Wessel, Jan R, Waller, Darcy A, Greenlee, Jeremy Dw

“…To effectively interact with their environment, humans must often select actions from multiple incompatible options. Existing theories propose that during…”

Cortico-subcortical β burst dynamics underlying movement cancellation in humans by Diesburg, Darcy A, Greenlee, Jeremy Dw, Wessel, Jan R

“…Dominant neuroanatomical models hold that humans regulate their movements via loop-like cortico-subcortical networks, which include the subthalamic nucleus…”

An adaptive orienting theory of error processing by Wessel, Jan R.

“…The ability to detect and correct action errors is paramount to safe and efficient goal‐directed behaviors. Existing work on the neural underpinnings of error…”

Modulation of the error-related negativity by response conflict by Danielmeier, Claudia, Wessel, Jan R., Steinhauser, Marco, Ullsperger, Markus

“…An arrow version of the Eriksen flanker task was employed to investigate the influence of conflict on the error‐related negativity (ERN). The degree of…”

Neurocognitive development of novelty and error monitoring in children and adolescents by Kang, Kathleen, Alexander, Nina, Wessel, Jan R., Wimberger, Pauline, Nitzsche, Katharina, Kirschbaum, Clemens, Li, Shu-Chen

“…The abilities to monitor one’s actions and novel information in the environment are crucial for behavioural and cognitive control. This study investigated the…”

On the Globality of Motor Suppression: Unexpected Events and Their Influence on Behavior and Cognition by Wessel, Jan R., Aron, Adam R.

“…Unexpected events are part of everyday experience. They come in several varieties—action errors, unexpected action outcomes, and unexpected perceptual…”

Surprise: A More Realistic Framework for Studying Action Stopping? by Wessel, Jan R.

“…Motor inhibition enables rapid action stopping, even post initiation. When action stopping is anticipated (such as in laboratory stopping tasks), inhibition is…”

Stimulus devaluation induced by action stopping is greater for explicit value representations by Wessel, Jan R, Tonnesen, Alexandra L, Aron, Adam R

“…We recently showed that rapidly stopping an action in the face of a reward-related stimulus reduces the subjective value of that stimulus (Wessel et al.,…”
