The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this original article following an investigation by Universiteit Leiden providing evidence of manipulated data. The institutional investigation concluded that 6 participants (test subjects) were omitted from the article without adequate or transparent explanation in the article why participants were excluded from the analysis. The main findings of the paper (e.g., correlation between the measure of heart rate variability and switch costs) may not be supported when including the six missing participants.

Given the concerns reported with this article, the Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented results and conclusions.

Bryant J. Jongkees, Matthijs de Wit, Melle J. W. van der Molen and Laura Steenbergen agree to this retraction. Lorenza S. Colzato does not agree to this retraction.
