Cognitive Control in Parkinson's Disease

"The scalp electrical activity will be collected by a 256-electrodes EEG montage (Electrical Geodesics Inc).~During the task, participants will be asked to answer on a right or left button according to the color of a circle (yellow or blue) presented on the left or right side of a screen. Participants will have to ignore the stimulus position and respond only according to its color. This leads to two experimental conditions When the color of the circle and its position indicate the same answer, the situation is congruent and the answer is facilitated. Conversely, when they indicate two opposite responses, a conflict between the two alternative actions appears and must be resolved to provide a correct answer. This situation is said to be incongruent. At each trial, the stimulus is shown to the left or right of a central fixation cross. The participants then have to answer on a right or left button. At each trial, the reaction time and the accuracy of the response will be collected."
