Midfrontal-occipital Ɵ-tACS modulates cognitive conflicts related to bodily stimuli
Neurophysiological studies show that during tasks tapping cognitive control (like the Flanker task), midfrontal theta (MFϴ) oscillations are associated with conflict and error processing and neural top- down modulation of…

Midline Frontal and Occipito-Temporal Activity During Error Monitoring in Dyadic Motor Interactions
Discrepancies between sensory predictions and action outcome are at the base of error coding. However, these phenomena have mainly been studied focussing on individual performance. Here, we explored EEG responses…
