It proposes that anterior cingulate cortex (ACC; Carter and van Veen, 2007) tracks the total amount of energy at the response level: when multiple responses are simultaneously activated, cognitive control needs to be enhanced

Summary
Edited by: Tobias Egner, Duke University, USA Reviewed by: Juan Lupiáñez, University of Granada, Spain Kobe Desender, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium. A commentary on Feeling the conflict: the crucial role of conflict experience in adaptation. We outline why Desender and colleagues overestimate the importance of their data in supporting a crucial role for conflict awareness, but underrate other aspects of their study.
