. Over the last decades, error-related potentials (ErrPs) have repeatedly proven especially useful as corrective mechanisms in invasive and non-invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). However, research in this context exclusively investigated the distinction of discrete events intoorto the present day.

While various literature documents neural correlates to steering motion, the driver's mental state, and the impact of distraction and fatigue on driving performance, the cortical substrate of continuous deviations of a car from the road - i.e.

Over the last thirty years, research extensively analyzed the neural correlates of processing discrete error stimuli, unveiling the error-related negativity (ERN) and error positivity (Pe) as two main components of the cognitive response. However, the connection between the ERN/Pe and distinct stages of error processing, ranging from action monitoring to subsequent corrective behavior, remains ambiguous.

In people with a cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) or degenerative diseases leading to limited motor function, restoration of upper limb movement has been a goal of the brain-computer interface field for decades. Recently, research from our group investigated non-invasive and real-time decoding of continuous movement in able-bodied participants from low-frequency brain signals during a target-tracking task.
