On Your Mark, Get Set, Self-Control, Go: A Differentiated View on the Cortical Hemodynamics of Self-Control during Sprint Start

  Figure 1. Procedure of a sprint start sequence. Structure and timeframe are the same for all four sprint start conditions. Conditions differ only by task instruction.

  Figure 2. 8 Sources and 8 detectors were placed according to the international 5/10 system: E1 at F1, E2 at AF3, E3 at FC3, E4 at F5, D1 at F3, D2 at AF7, D3 at FC5, D4 at F7, E5 at F6, E6 at AF4, E7 at FC4, E8 at F2, D5 at F8, D6 at AF8, D7 at FC6, and D8 at F4.

  Figure 3. Boxplots of oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) concentrations (in μmol/L) grouped in regions of interest (ROIs) (anterior, ventral, others) for all four sprint start conditions (action inhibition start (a), action initiation start (b), combined start (c), no-start (d)) 2 s before the set signal (baseline) and 5 to 7 s after the set signal (response to set signal). Middle lines inside each box represent the median scores, top lines of each box indicate the upper quartiles, bottom lines of each box indicate lower quartiles, upper and lower vertical lines indicate upper and lower whiskers and dots represent outliers.

  Figure 4. Boxplots of group averaged oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) concentrations (in μmol/L) 5 to 7 s after set signal differentiated for regions of interest (ROIs) (anterior, others, ventral), Gender (Male = 0, Female = 1) and for Laterality (left (a) and right (b) hemisphere). Middle lines inside each box represent the median scores, top lines of each box indicate the upper quartiles, bottom lines of each box indicate lower quartiles, upper and lower vertical lines indicate upper and lower whiskers and dots represent outliers.
