We also asked how theta power is modulated in correct and error trials in the ACC and FEF. We found no significant differences in theta power between correct and error trials in the ACC or FEF (Fig. 4b,c, left two columns). However, there were significant differences of beta power across the delay periods of the memory-guided saccade task but not in the preparatory period of the anti-saccade task (Fig. 4b,c, right two columns). This indicated that the changes in theta and beta band ACC-FEF phase synchronization in either one (beta) or both (theta) behavioural tasks were dissociated from changes in local power.
