Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Event-Related Potential in the EEG: Error/correct Negativity (Ne/c) to measure error-specific activity: The Ne/c peak amplitude is determined as the at the FCz electrode within 0-150 ms after a response (error and correct). - experiment is conducted 1x at the beginning, 1x at the end of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Error/correct Positivity (Pe/c), error rate, reaction time, post-error slowing, post-error accuracy, signal detection parameters, hit rate, classification accuracy
