756 Morse, Rachel A.Oh my amplitude! : the role of subjective motivation on the amplitude of the error-related negativityMaking mistakes is part of our human experience. When individuals commit errors, they can learn from their mistakes and minimize future errors in different scenarios. We can measure error monitoring in the brain with EEG. The error-related negativity (ERN) is an event-related potential observed when...2021
