The effects of alteration of effector and side of movement on the contingent negative variation

Results/Conclusions: (1) A change of the side of movement is associated with a widespread increase of negativity contralateral to the currently prepared movement. (2) A change of finger is associated with a focal increase of negativity contralateral to the side of the current movement over temporoparietal and mid-parietal areas. (3) A change of finger results in a widespread increase of negativity over the left hemisphere.
