Learning to stop: linking intra-cortical inhibition to response control

该项目旨在通过使用新的神经生理学技术和创新的实验设计相结合，测试行为抑制（一种基本的心理能力）和神经抑制之间的联系。该项目旨在深入了解故意抑制计划反应和学习抑制反射所涉及的神经和心理机制。预期成果包括深刻理解大脑中的抑制如何有助于控制行为，以及为什么有些人在抑制不良行为方面比其他人更有效。该项目通过确定抑制控制能力差的个人如何从干预措施中受益，从而带来健康和社会效益。

This project aims to test the link between behavioural inhibition, an essential psychological ability, and neural inhibition, by using a combination of new neurophysiological techniques and innovative experimental design. The project intends to generate insight into the neural and psychological mechanisms involved in deliberately inhibiting planned responses and learned inhibitory reflexes. Expected outcomes include a strong understanding of how inhibition in the brain contributes to control of behaviour and why some individuals are more efficient than others at inhibiting undesirable actions. The project carries health and societal benefits by identifying how individuals with poor inhibitory control can benefit from interventions.
