Summary: The study found that the feedback related negativity (FRN) is predictive of learning retention in school-age children, particularly the FRN elicited by positive feedback. Additionally, the relationship between FRN and learning is moderated by age. Furthermore, larger P3a to negative feedback is associated with better learning retention in children.

Summary: This study examines the changes in neural feedback processing during the practice of a motor task. Negative feedback elicits more negative responses in the feedback-related negativity, while late fronto-central positivity is associated with complex feedback. Positive feedback activates the P300 more strongly, indicating its significance in updating internal models. After practice, an increase in the P300 amplitude suggests an improved ability to update internal representations based on feedback information.

Summary: The large data set for ERN and Pe components of scalp-recorded ERP is not yet ready for use in research and especially clinical applications due to incomplete understanding of amplitude differences, lack of method standardization, and use of convenience samples. More research is encouraged to understand ERN score differences and factors influencing variation, as well as dissemination of protocols for data collection and processing to move towards standardization and useful norms in ERP studies.

Summary: The study found a reduced P2 amplitude in insomnia patients during phasic REM sleep, which was correlated with sleep misperception. Independent component analysis showed that frontal negativity played a key role in this group difference.

Summary: This study examined whether there were changes in feedback-related negativity (FRN) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) during a gambling task. The results showed that the MCI group had a significantly larger FRN amplitude than the healthy elderly group, but there was no group difference in FRN latency. Furthermore, the FRN amplitude was positively correlated with the mini-mental state examination score. These findings suggest that monitoring dysfunction might also be involved in the prodromal stage of dementia.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the pathophysiology of OCD using electroencephalographic (EEG) event-related potentials (ERPs). The results showed altered frontal neural activity across multiple cognitive processes in individuals with OCD, supporting the frontal dysfunction theory of OCD. These findings may serve as potential candidate endophenotypes for OCD.

Summary: Surprise in learning is influenced by internal monitoring of performance evaluation, where individuals adjust their learning process based on outcome predictions and confidence levels. Research shows that individuals who can calibrate their confidence levels to the precision of their outcome predictions learn more quickly.

Summary: This study evaluated the feasibility of recording ERP components in the context of word sequence production and confirmed that separate components could be isolated for each word. Results revealed negative waves associated with speech monitoring and verbal response planning and execution.

Summary: Behavioral approaches and electrophysiology have made significant advancements in understanding human sensorimotor systems. Behavioral neuroscientists have identified implicit and explicit processes in motor learning, while electrophysiologists have discovered error-related potentials. However, there has been a lack of communication between these two lines of research. This article aims to bridge the gap by reviewing literature from both perspectives.

Summary: Previous monolingual studies have extensively investigated the processing mechanisms of novel and conventional metaphors, but little attention has been given to how metaphors are processed by bilingual brains and how scientific context influences this process. Using event-related potentials (ERPs), this study investigates the electrophysiological processing of scientific metaphors in Chinese and English, finding differences in meaning integration between L1 and L2 at different stages. The results support the revised hierarchical model, demonstrating the complex dynamics of processing figurative meaning in bilingual brains.

Summary: Objective wealth of others may influence the way we participate in resources allocation. Participants tended to reject unfair proposals even though it would reduce their own benefit. Importantly, participants were more likely to accept unfair offers from proposers with low objective wealth than from proposers with high objective wealth.

Summary: Clayson et al. (2021) conducted a multiverse analysis to evaluate the effects of data processing choices on ERP measures. They provided recommendations for data processing, but their approach needs further investigation into the reasons for differences in ERP results.

Summary: This study used event-related potentials to investigate feedback processing in individuals with post-stroke aphasia. The results suggest that feedback processing may be associated with learning in certain contexts, with cognitive variables rather than language variables playing a key role in novel word learning.

Summary: FRN is believed to encode reward prediction error, but studies have conflicting views on whether it reflects unsigned or signed prediction error. It is unclear if FRN is sensitive to the interaction of outcome valence and prediction error, or simply responsive to the absolute size of prediction error. The study demonstrates that FRN is sensitive to outcome valence and expectancy violation, exhibiting a preferential response depending on the emphasized dimension.

Summary: This study investigated the processing of scientific metaphors in a speaker's native language (L1) and their second language (L2) using event-related potential experimentation. The findings suggest that L2 scientific metaphor comprehension requires more cognitive effort and may involve decreased automaticity and sensitivity to metaphorical meanings compared to L1.

Summary: This review discusses computational models that demonstrate three core principles of ACC function related to hierarchy, world models, and cost, as well as four constraints on the neural implementation of these principles. These observations suggest a role for ACC in hierarchical model-based hierarchical reinforcement learning, motivating the execution of high-level plans.

Summary: In recent years, the study of dynamic between-brain coupling mechanisms in social neuroscience has gained significant attention. Interbrain synchrony (IBS) is considered a potential neural mechanism that promotes social interactions. However, this research is faced with three pervasive and interrelated problems: the lack of a widely accepted definition of IBS, a dearth of guiding theories for experiment design and interpretation, and excessive flexibility in testing hypotheses. Measures to address these issues are recommended.

Summary: In this study, a data-driven approach was used to reanalyze a task involving coffee and tea making, revealing the involvement of the inferior-temporal gyrus and lateral prefrontal cortex in maintaining temporal and contextual information for hierarchically organized action sequences. Additionally, temporal information appears to be more strongly encoded in areas over the left hemisphere.
