Effects of partial sleep deprivation and threat manipulation on response inhibition, sleep and affect in healthy young adults in the region of Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

On the day after the third night of the sleep protocol, participants performed a simulated Go/NoGo shooting task with integrated stop-signal trials to directly measure inhibition of activated responses. During the task, threat was manipulated within-subjects by a cue that predicted the presentation of a quiet (low threat, 50 dB) or loud (high threat, 97 dB) white noise stimulus whenever participants made a response error.

In addition to the task, questionnaires were administered to measure individual differences in relevant trait variables, and subjective responses to the sleep and threat manipulations. All data were collected individually. A full description of the materials and procedures is given in the Methodology document.

The Documentation_Codebook document describes the participant flow and the content of the individual datasets.
