AbstractInhibitory control is a crucial cognitive-control ability for behavioral flexibility that has been extensively investigated through action-stopping tasks. Multiple neurophysiological features have been proposed to represent 'signatures' of inhibitory control during action-stopping, though the processes signified by these signatures are still controversially discussed.

People—including researchers—make mistakes. Some errors are simple: forgetting a colon in a computer program, or copy-and-pasting the wrong value from a paper during a literature review. But when missteps evade detection and make it into a published paper, there can be “staggering” consequences, such as spurring a subfield into dead-end research questions, writes Malte Elson, professor of the psychology of digitalization at the University of Bern, in an editorial published last month in Nature.

AbstractHuman frontocentral event-related potentials (FC-ERPs) are ubiquitous neural correlates of cognition and control, but their generating multiscale mechanisms remain mostly unknown.

AbstractStopping initiated actions is fundamental to adaptive behavior. Longstanding, single-process accounts of action-stopping have been challenged by recent, two-process, 'pause-then-cancel' models. These models propose that action-stopping involves two inhibitory processes: 1) a fast Pause process, which broadly suppresses the motor system as the result of detecting any salient event, and 2) a slower Cancel process, which involves motor suppression specific to the cancelled action.

AbstractThe ability to adapt behavior after erroneous actions is one of the key aspects of cognitive control. Error commission typically causes people to slow down their subsequent actions [post-error slowing (PES)]. Recent work has challenged the notion that PES reflects adaptive, controlled processing and instead suggests that it is a side effect of the surprising nature of errors.

AbstractHuman frontocentral event-related potentials (FC-ERPs) are ubiquitous neural correlates of cognition and control, but their generating multiscale mechanisms remain mostly unknown. We used the Human Neocortical Neurosolver(HNN)'s biophysical model of a canonical neocortical circuit under exogenous thalamic and cortical drive to simulate the cell and circuit mechanisms underpinning the P2, N2, and P3 features of the FC-ERP observed after Stop-Signals in the Stop-Signal task (SST).

Highlights Inhibitory control is a fundamental mechanism for adaptive behavior and cognition that features in theories across psychology and cognitive science. Although inhibitory control is thought to regulate processes ranging from actions to memories, most neuroscientific work studies these domains of inhibition separately. Recent crossdomain comparisons have converged on the view that inhibitory control arises from common, domain-general neural mechanisms.
