Can Event-Related Potentials Serve As Neural Markers For Wins, Losses, And Near-Wins In A Gambling Task? A Principal Components Analysis, Lisa Lole, Craig J. Gonsalvez, Robert J. Barry, Frances M. De Blasio

Faculty of Social Sciences - Papers (Archive)

Originally, the feedback related negativity (FRN) event-related potential (ERP) component was considered to be a robust neural correlate of non-reward/punishment processing, with greater negative deflections observed following unfavourable outcomes. More recently, it has been suggested that this component is better conceptualised as a positive deflection following rewarding outcomes. The current study sought to elucidate the nature of the FRN, as well as another component associated with incentive-value processing, the P3b, through application of a spatiotemporal principal components analysis (PCA). Seventeen healthy controls played a computer electronic gaming machine (EGM) task and received feedback on credits won or lost on each …
