TLDR
The functional significance of the N2 in go/ no-go tasks was investigated by comparing electrophysiological data obtained from two tasks: a go/no-go task involving both response inhibition as well as response conflict monitoring, and aGo/GO task associated with conflict monitoring only.

Neurocognitive mechanisms of cognitive control: the role of prefrontal cortex in action selection, response inhibition, performance monitoring, and reward-based learning.

TL;DR: Examining some of the main constituent processes of cognitive control as involved in dynamic decision making: goal-directed action selection, response activation and inhibition, performance monitoring, and reward-based learning finds medial frontal cortex is found to be involved in performance monitoring.

Electroencephalography of response inhibition tasks: Functional networks and cognitive contributions

TL;DR: Evidence denotes an association of a frontal-midline N200/theta oscillations with premotor cognitive processes such as conflict monitoring or response program updating, and an anterior P300/delta oscillationsWith response-related, evaluative processing stages, probably the evaluation of motor inhibition.

Theta lingua franca: A common mid-frontal substrate for action monitoring processes

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that a multitude of mid-frontal event-related potential (ERP) components partially reflect a common theta band oscillatory process, and the hypothesis that generic and reactive medial prefrontal cortex processes are parsimoniously reflected by thetaBand activities is supported.

Neurophysiology of Performance Monitoring and Adaptive Behavior

TL;DR: The neurophysiology of evaluating action course and outcome with respect to their valence is reviewed, i.e., reward and punishment, and initiating short- and long-term adaptations, learning, and decisions.

Bilingual language control: An event-related brain potential study

TL;DR: This study addressed how bilingual speakers switch between their first and second language when speaking by measuring event-related brain potentials and naming latencies and revealing small but reliable effects of cognate status.

An integrative theory of prefrontal cortex function

TL;DR: It is proposed that cognitive control stems from the active maintenance of patterns of activity in the prefrontal cortex that represent goals and the means to achieve them, which provide bias signals to other brain structures whose net effect is to guide the flow of activity along neural pathways that establish the proper mappings between inputs, internal states, and outputs needed to perform a given task.

Neural Mechanisms of Selective Visual Attention

TL;DR: The two basic phenomena that define the problem of visual attention can be illustrated in a simple example and selectivity-the ability to filter out un­ wanted information is illustrated.

Conflict monitoring and cognitive control.

TL;DR: Two computational modeling studies are reported, serving to articulate the conflict monitoring hypothesis and examine its implications, including a feedback loop connecting conflict monitoring to cognitive control, and a number of important behavioral phenomena.

Effects of noise letters upon the identification of a target letter in a nonsearch task

TL;DR: In this paper, a 1-sec tachistoscopic exposure, Ss responded with a right or left leverpress to a single target letter from the sets H and K or S and C. The target always appeared directly above the fixation cross.

Attention to action: willed and automatic control of behavior

TL;DR: This chapter proposes a theoretical framework structured around the notion of a set of active schemas, organized according to the particular action sequences of which they are a part, awaiting the appropriate set of conditions so that they can become selected to control action.
