Similarly, phase synchronization modulation has advantages over standard phase synchronization because, as described above, inter-site phase synchronization may result from a combination of specific task-related parameters and also more general cognitive/orienting processes. In contrast, the specific modulation of phase synchronization by reaction time provides a more focal interpretation of synchronization vis-à-vis conflict dynamics: phase angle differences do not need to be consistent over trials at each time–frequency point; rather, they need only to be consistently related to behavioral or experimental variables.
