Resumo

The aim of this study was to apply a blinded source separation algorithm to the event-related potentials in the GO/NOGO test to isolate latent components reflected cognitive control brain processes in humans and to identify its features in elite athletes. For this purpose, 19-channel EEG was recorded in two groups of participants: students and highly skilled athletes. The greatest differences between the groups were observed in two latent components and were associated with greater neural activity in athletes. The first component was generated in the premotor cortex and reflected the process of preparing a motor response. The second component was generated in the anterior cingulate gyrus and was associated with the process of action monitoring. The use of neuromodulation methods to enhance cognitive control in athletes is discussed.
