Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Event Related Potentials (ERPs) as recorded by EEG related to inhibitory
mechanisms (stop-P3) and to orienting mechanisms (novelty-P3) will be assessed.
Secondary outcome
Not applicable
Background summary
Neurophysiologically, the cognitive processes of inhibition and orienting evoke
so-called event-related potentials, which can be measured by
electroencephalogram. Both processes and their neurophysiological
representations have been studied independent of each other as of yet
frequently. However, there is a paucity regarding studies on the overlap and
differences between these processes and their neurophysiological
representations.
Study objective
: To investigate the overlap and differences in neurophysiological activity
related to inhibition and orienting responses in the human brain.
Study design
In the current experiment we plan to implement two neuropsychological tasks
assessing brain activity as recorded by electroencephalogram during inhibition
and during orienting.
Intervention
Not applicable
Study burden and risks
No risk is involved in this study. EEG is a non-invasive measurement. The
burden on the participants is expected to be minimal.
