Conscious error awareness

no changein humans1

1 study
  1. Atomoxetine has no effect on conscious error awareness in humans.

    “there were no significant differences in conscious error awareness between atomoxetine and placebo.”

Pupil dilation

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Atomoxetine decreases pupil dilation in humans.

    “Atomoxetine reduced phasic pupil dilation to both novel stimuli in the novelty-oddball task and to action errors in the antisaccade task.”
