Conflict processing networks: A directional analysis of stimulus-response compatibilities using MEG.

ABSTRACT: The suppression of distracting information in order to focus on an actual cognitive goal is a key feature of executive functions. The use of brain imaging methods to investigate the underlying neurobiological brain activations that occur during conflict processing have demonstrated a strong involvement of the fronto-parietal attention network (FPAN). Surprisingly, the directional interconnections, their time courses and activations at different frequency bands remain to be elucidated, and thus, this constitutes the focus of this study. The shared information flow between brain areas of the FPAN is provided for frequency bands ranging from the theta to the lower gamma band (4-40 Hz). We employed an adaptation of the Simon task utilizing Magnetoencephalography (MEG). Granger causality was ap
