Abstract：To investigate the effects of excitation and inhibition on N450 during conflict monitoring in healthy subjects doing the Stroop variant(word sense-duration task).46 undergraduate students were chosen and randomly assigned to the duration estimation task group(n=22)and the consistency judgment task group(n=24).Inhibition vs.excitation and inhibition were then induced in word sense,respectively.Event-related potentials(ERPs)N450 were then researched in both groups under the conditions between word sense and duration judgment the conflict and non-conflict.The results showed that:(1)In the conflict condition,reaction times signifi-cantly increased in both groups;meanwhile,the duration estimation task group's correct rate dramatically fell(P<0.05);(2)There was a significant variation in the amplitude of the N450 wave under the two conditions when word sense inhibition and excitation were induced simultaneously(P<0.05);(3)The sLORETA trace data showed that conflict processing was linked to both frontoparietal net-work and cingulate gyrus activation.The study indicates that the excitatory and inhibitory components of the stimulus have an impact on both the event-related potential N450 and the reactions of the subjects during stimulus conflict.
