The Electrophysiological Dynamics of Interference during the Stroop Task

If subjects are required to name the color of the word printed in blue ink, interference between word meaning and ink color occurs, which slows down reaction time. This effect is well known as the Stroop effect. It is still an unresolved issue how the brain deals with interference in this type of ta...
