The paper identifies neurons in the anterior striatum of macaques involved in proactive inhibition during a decision-making task.

This study uses EEG and artificial neural networks to analyze how metacontrol states affect conflict regulation, finding theta band activity reflects mismatch between expected bias and task demands, while alpha and beta bands are involved in neural reset.
