      abstract     = {The N2pc $\&$ P3 Event-Related Potentials (ERPs), used to
                      index selective attention and access to working memory and
                      conscious awareness, respectively, have been important tools
                      in cognitive sciences. Although it is likely that these two
                      components and the underlying cognitive processes are
                      temporally and functionally linked, such links have not yet
                      been convincingly demonstrated. Adopting a novel
                      methodological approach based on Dynamic Time Warping (DTW),
                      we provide evidence that the N2pc and P3 ERP components are
                      temporally linked. We analysed data from an experiment where
                      23 participants (16 women) monitored bilateral rapid serial
                      streams of letters and digits in order to report a target
                      digit indicated by a shape cue, separately for trials with
                      correct responses and trials where a temporally proximal
                      distractor was reported instead (distractor intrusion). DTW
                      analyses revealed that N2pc and P3 latencies were correlated
                      in time, both when the target or a distractor was reported.
                      Notably, this link was weaker on distractor intrusion
                      trials. This N2pc-P3 association is discussed with respect
                      to the relationship between attention and access
                      consciousness. Our results demonstrate that our novel method
                      provides a valuable approach for assessing temporal links
                      between two cognitive processes and their underlying
                      modulating factors. This method allows to establish links
                      and their modulator for any two time-series across all
                      domains of the field (general-purpose MATLAB functions and a
                      Python module are provided alongside this
                      paper).Significance Statement We provide evidence for a
                      temporal link between two important Event Related Potential
                      components, the N2pc and P3.We establish that the N2pc-P3
                      link is stronger after correct responses, which provides a
                      new perspective on how links between attention and WM
                      encoding affect the quality of performance and the content
                      of access consciousness.We demonstrate that our Dynamic Time
                      Warping (DTW) based method can be adopted to identify yet
                      unknown factors modulating the relationship between two
                      cognitive processes. This method is able to assess temporal
                      links between two time-series of any kind. Thus, it carries
                      the potential to establish a wide-range of still unknown
                      temporal links between two cognitive processes (and their
                      modulating factors) across all domains of the field.},
