Abstract

The feedbackrelated negativity or FRN is an electrical brain signal measured with an electroencephalogram Detectable at the scalp via the eventrelated potential ERP the FRN occurs when an individual receives external feedback visual auditory indicating that performance is worse than expected in a given context Such contexts include monetary loss and feedback about performance in simple games The FRN occurs approximately 250 ms after feedback and is typically observed at central to frontalcentral scalp regions The most likely neural generator of the FRN is the anterior cingulate cortex Gehring Willoughby 2002 Luu Tucker Derryberry Reed Poulsen 2003
