In the present study a team of IKN scientists investigated the relevance of hemispheric asymmetries for cognitive control processes using a lateralized version of the task switching paradigm.
ERPs were recorded and the neural sources of the ERPs were reconstructed using standardised low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA).
A left lateralization of the N1 that was mediated by activation in the left extrastriate cortex as well as a greater positivity of the P3b were observed after stimulus presentation in the
RVF compared to the LVF. These findings reveal that FCAs are an important modulator of executive functions related to cognitive flexibility.
