Event-related covariance (ERC) patterns were computed from pre-stimulus and feedback intervals of a bimanual, visuomotor judgment task performed by 7 right-handed men. Late contingent negative variation (CNV) ERC patterns that preceded subsequently accurate right- or left-hand responses differed from patterns that preceded subsequently inaccurate responses. Recordings from electrodes placed at left frontal, midline antero-central, and appropriately contralateral central and parietal sites were prominent in ERC patterns of subsequently accurate performances. This suggests that a distributed cortical 'preparatory network,' composed of distinct cognitive, integrative motor, somesthetic, and motor components, is essential for accurate visuomotor performance. ERC patterns related to feedback about accurate and inaccurate responses were similar to each other in the interval immediately after feedback onset, but began to differ in an interval spanning an early P300 peak. The difference became even greater in an interval spanning a late P300 peak. For both early and late P300 peaks, ERC patterns following feedback about inaccurate performance involved more frontal sites than did those following feedback about accurate performance. Together with the stimulus- and response-locked results presented in part I, results of this study on the preparatory and feedback periods suggest that ERCs show salient features of the rapidly shifting, functional cortical networks that are responsible for simple cognitive tasks. ERCs thus provide a new perspective on information processing in the human brain in relation to behavior--a perspective that supplements conventional EEG and ERP procedures. |
