  1. Whole brain analysis of efficiency scores regressed onto the contrast correct no-go compared to go trials, controlling for study (K > 57, p = 0.001, corresponding to p < 0.05, corrected). Negative correlations are associated with better performance. No regions were significantly associated with worse performance.
