Description | By analyzing intracerebrally recorded Bereitschaftspotentials the study attempted to demonstrate that the components are electrophysiological correlates of separate operations. The results suggest a separate elaboration of functional task items in some and their integration in other brain structures, and the existence of volitional mechanisms of different hierarchical character. |
