Machine learning provides novel neurophysiological features that predict performance to inhibit automated responses

Abstract Neurophysiological features like event-related potentials (ERPs) have long been used to identify different cognitive sub-processes that may contribute to task performance. It has however remained unclear whether “classical” ERPs are truly the best reflection or even causal to observable var...
