Theoretical background: Considerable progress has been made in illuminating the neural basis of the compulsive use patterns characterizing substance use disorders. It has been suggested to utilize these findings to alleviate the health burden associated with substance use. Objective: We address how neuroimaging research can provide these benefits....
Two event-related brain potential (ERP) components elicited during feedback processing are the frontocentral feedback-related negativity (FRN), followed by the posterior P300. According to the Error-Related Reinforcement Learning Theory (Holroyd & Coles, 2002), the FRN amplitude is largest when the outcome is negative and unexpected. Complementing...
Inhibitory control deficits are associated with substance use disorders (SUDs) and considered a risk factor. Most studies compare SUD groups with unaffected individuals, although the degree of substance use might relate to inhibitory control deficits and explain group differences. This raises the question to which extent these deficits are specific...
Background
Substance use disorders are reliably associated with high impulsivity and sensation seeking. Importantly, both precede problematic substance use, implicating them as risk factors. Individuals with substance use disorders show variable degrees of substance use (combined quantity and frequency) and substance-related problems and differ in...
Models posit problematic binge‐watching to involve a vicious circle of low motivation for alternative activities, low sensitivity for the consequences of neglected goals, and low self‐control. As such, simultaneously impaired feedback and inhibitory functioning might contribute to binge‐watching. We tested the hypothesis that blunted feedback‐relat...
Adaptive behavior critically depends on performance monitoring (PM), the ability to monitor action outcomes and the need to adapt behavior. PM-related brain activity has been linked to guiding decisions about whether action adaptation is warranted. The present study examined whether PM-related brain activity in a flanker task, as measured by electr...

With increasing popularity of internet streaming portals, the question why people develop excessive binge-watching behavior has become a focus of scientific research. The possible negative consequences of this behavior under investigation and its proximity to behavioral addictions is discussed. Since deficits of response inhibition and performance...
Regulation of craving (ROC) is a promising method of intervention in addiction and has received attention in event-related potential (ERP) research investigating the late positive potential (LPP). However, in the face of previously unaligned behavioral and LPP results, the present work aimed to take a first step toward more valid electrocortical ma...
Die Zwangsstörung äußert sich in Gedanken und Handlungen. Die Zwangsgedanken sind wiederkehrende, aufdringliche Gedanken, die oftmals die Angst beinhalten, für ein mögliches Unglück verantwortlich zu sein (z. B. sich mit einer schweren Erkrankung anzustecken). Zwangshandlungen sind wiederkehrende Verhaltensweisen, die eingesetzt werden, um ein befü...
With the increasing popularity of internet streaming portals, the question why people develop binge-watching behavior has become a focus of scientific research and its addictive potential is discussed. The current study examined neural correlates of binge-watching during inhibition in a go/nogo task and performance monitoring using electroencephalo...
In this article, we review associations between the Dark Triad of personality (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) and addictive behaviors, both substance-related and non-substance-related. We summarize evidence from personality and clinical research and integrate it with prevailing models of addiction. Specifically, we discuss addictive...
Unpredictability influences emotion and attention, but its effects on goal-directed behavior are unclear. We examined whether unpredictable events interfere with performance, using event-related potentials to specify underlying attentional dynamics. The paradigm involved task-irrelevant distracters of either predictable or unpredictable content (ne...
Background
Traumatic events are associated with alcohol use problems with increased alcohol craving as a potential mediator. There is still a lack of knowledge regarding the causal nature of this association and its underlying mechanisms. This study investigated the effects of acute trauma exposure on alcohol craving in healthy individuals consider...
Background:
Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) experience abnormally high levels of uncertainty, and unpredictability is evaluated negatively and not well tolerated. The current study examined neural correlates of attentional processing in response to experimentally induced uncertainty in OCD.
Methods:
Twenty-four OCD patients and...
Uncertainty about future threat has been found to be associated with an overestimation of threat probability and is hypothesized to elicit additional allocation of attention. We used event-related potentials to examine uncertainty-related dynamics in attentional allocation, exploiting brain potentials’ high temporal resolution and sensitivity to at...
Zusammenfassung Oft erleben sich Studierende bei ihrer Abschlussarbeit als wenig selbstwirksam: Sie haben vornehmlich reproduktive Lernstrategien entwickelt, sind zwar ausführlich geschult, wissenschaftliche Inhalte zu erarbeiten und zu diskutieren, bei den ersten Schreibversuchen ist aufgrund geringer Vorerfahrung jedoch die Diskrepanz zu Facharti...

We aim at identifying factors that predict the development of substance use related problems in substance users. In a second step, we will evaluate the role of fMRI assessed neural correlates of these factors.
Stress and craving are important predictors for relapse and escalated use in addiction. Therefore, it is important to understand how users can cope with these influences. Our aim is to examine the influence of stress on the capacity to regulate craving and its neural substrates using fMRI. We also compare the prospective effects of strategies to regulate craving and its electrophysiological correlates using the electroencephalogram (EEG).
