Cortical contributions to attentional orienting and response cancellation in action stopping

This study uses fNIRS to examine cortical activity during action cancellation in a stop-signal task, finding preSMA involvement consistent with the Pause-then-Cancel model.

The Contextual Specificity of Pausing: Interpreting Electromyographic Partial Responses During Action Cancellation and Attentional Capture

The paper investigates the contextual specificity of motor pauses during action cancellation and attentional capture, showing that EMG suppression is context-dependent rather than a generalizable pause process.

Stopping and Changing Expected and Unexpected Movements

This study investigates how expectations of movement affect stopping and reprogramming, finding that expectations influence movement speed and reprogramming but not stopping latency.

The Stop Signal Stepping Task: how action cancellation commands disrupt step initiation in young and healthy older adults

This study adapts the stop signal task to stepping to examine how action cancellation affects movement in young and older adults, finding age-related differences in response speed but not stopping speed.

When Stopping Requires Going; Physiological Similarities Between Action Cancellation and the Cancellation of Action Cancellation

This study compares the physiological mechanisms of action cancellation and cancellation of action cancellation using EMG, finding no difference in cancellation speed between conditions.

An exploration of complex action stopping across multiple datasets: Insights into the mechanisms of action cancellation and re-programming

The paper analyzes response-selective stopping using EMG and behavioral data from 17 cohorts, revealing overlaps in timing of action cancellation and re-programming, suggesting a 'pause-then-retune' mechanism.

Selective Cancellation of Reactive and Anticipated Movement: Differences in Speed of Action Reprogramming, but not Stopping.

This study compares motor inhibition in reactive and anticipated movement tasks, finding no difference in inhibition speed but faster action reprogramming in anticipated movements and age-related slowing in both.

Stopping Speed in Response to Auditory and Visual Stop Signals Depends on Go Signal Modality

This study investigates how the modality of go signals affects stopping speed in response to stop signals, finding faster stopping in cross-modal conditions and fastest stopping with audiovisual stop signals.

Faster action reprogramming, but not stopping, with proactive cues: Combining EMG and computational modelling in response-selective stop signal tasks

This study investigates how proactive cues affect stopping and responding in a bimanual task using EMG and computational modeling, finding reduced stopping delay with no effect on stopping speed.

Dissociating Attentional Capture from Action Cancellation in the Stop Signal Task

The paper investigates inhibition mechanisms in the stop signal task, distinguishing between attentional capture and action cancellation, and finds involuntary pauses occur in both stop and ignore conditions.
