The Pause-then-Cancel model of human action-stopping: Theoretical considerations and empirical evidence

DA Diesburg, JR Wessel - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2021 - Elsevier
The ability to stop already-initiated actions is a key cognitive control ability. Recent work on
human action-stopping has been dominated by two controversial debates. First, the …

Right inferior frontal gyrus damage is associated with impaired initiation of inhibitory control, but not its implementation

Y Choo, D Matzke, MD Bowren Jr, D Tranel, JR Wessel - Elife, 2022 - elifesciences.org
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 showing that lesions to the …

Common and unique inhibitory control signatures of action-stopping and attentional capture suggest that actions are stopped in two stages

JR Tatz, C Soh, JR Wessel - Journal of Neuroscience, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
The ability to stop an already initiated action is paramount to adaptive behavior. Much
scientific debate in the field of human action-stopping currently focuses on two interrelated …

Frontal midline theta differentiates separate cognitive control strategies while still generalizing the need for cognitive control

J Eisma, E Rawls, S Long, R Mach, C Lamm - Scientific reports, 2021 - nature.com
Cognitive control processes encompass many distinct components, including response
inhibition (stopping a prepotent response), proactive control (using prior information to enact …

Cortico-subcortical β burst dynamics underlying movement cancellation in humans

DA Diesburg, JDW Greenlee, JR Wessel - elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Dominant neuroanatomical models hold that humans regulate their movements via loop-like
cortico-subcortical networks, which include the subthalamic nucleus (STN), motor thalamus …

[HTML][HTML] Transient beta modulates decision thresholds during human action-stopping

V Muralidharan, AR Aron, R Schmidt - Neuroimage, 2022 - Elsevier
Action-stopping in humans involves bursts of beta oscillations in prefrontal-basal ganglia
regions. To determine the functional role of these beta bursts we took advantage of the Race …

Inhibitory control of gait initiation in humans: an electroencephalography study

D Ziri, L Hugueville, C Olivier, P Boulinguez… - …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Response inhibition is a crucial component of executive control. Although mainly studied in
upper limb tasks, it is fully implicated in gait initiation. Here, we assessed the influence of …

Measuring the nonselective effects of motor inhibition using isometric force recordings

BO Rangel, G Novembre, JR Wessel - Behavior research methods, 2024 - Springer
Inhibition is a key cognitive control mechanism humans use to enable goal-directed
behavior. When rapidly exerted, inhibitory control has broad, nonselective motor effects …

β-bursts over frontal cortex track the surprise of unexpected events in auditory, visual, and tactile modalities

JR Tatz, A Mather, JR Wessel - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2023 - direct.mit.edu
One of the fundamental ways in which the brain regulates and monitors behavior is by
making predictions about the sensory environment and adjusting behavior when those …
