    We measure prediction performance by contrasting predicted probability of future errors against their behavioral performance. To predict future errors, we will evaluate how brain activity preceding an error differs from the preceding correct sequence keypresses. We will also explore the feasibility of providing feedback signal to the participant when brain activity encodes future errors in real-time.
