Abstract
A two-component event-related brain potential consisting of an error-related negativity (ERN/Ne) and positivity (Pe) has been associated with response monitoring and error detection. Both the ERN and Pe have been source-localized to the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)Fa frontal structure implicated in both cognitive and affective processing, aswell as autonomic nervous system (ANS) modulation. The current study sought to examine the relationships among the ERN, the Pe, two autonomic measures, and behavior. Electroencephalogram (EEG), heart rate (HR), and skin conductance (SC) were recorded while subjects performed a two-choice reaction-time task. In addition to the characteristic ERN-Pe complex, errors were associatedwith larger SCRs and greaterHRdeceleration. The ERN correlatedwith the number of errors, but was unrelated to ANS activity and compensatory behavior. Pe, on the other hand, was correlated significantly with SCR, and both SCR and Pe were significantly correlated with post-error slowing. Descriptors: Error-related negativity (ERN), Event-related brain potential (ERP), Error processing, Heart rate (HR), Skin conductance response (SCR) The error-related negativity (ERN/Ne) and subsequent error positivity (Pe) is a two-component event-related brain potential (ERP) complex that has been associated with monitoring actions and detecting errors (Gehring, Coles, Meyer, & Donchin, 1990; Gehring & Fencsik, 2001; Hohnsbein, Falkenstein, & Hoorman, 1989). In speeded reaction-time tasks, the ERN is observed as a negative deflection at midline fronto-central recording sites (Fz, FCz, Cz) that begins when an incorrect response is initiated and peaks approximately 50–150 ms later (Dikman & Allen, 2000;
