    "abstract": "Children’s ability to direct attention to salient stimuli is a key\naspect of cognitive functioning. Here we examined the\nmagnitude and lateralization of EEG indices during\nsomatosensory anticipation elicited by a left or right directional\ncue indicating the bodily location of an upcoming tactile\nstimulus. In 50 children aged 6-8 years, somatosensory\nanticipation was accompanied by anticipatory negativity and\nalpha mu rhythm desynchronization at contralateral central\nelectrode sites (C3 and C4) overlying the hand area of the\nsomatosensory cortex. Individual differences in these\ncontralateral brain responses during somatosensory\nanticipation were associated with scores on a flanker task of\nexecutive function. The results suggest that processes involved\nin directing attention in the tactile modality may overlap with\nthose involved in broader executive function abilities.",
