AN INTRODUCTION TO THE EVENT-RELATED POTENTIAL ...

The event-related potential (ERP) technique  in which neural responses to specific events are
extracted from the EEG  provides a powerful noninvasive tool for exploring the human brain.
This volume describes practical methods for ERP research along with the underlying theoretical
rationale. It offers researchers and students an essential guide to designing  conducting  and
analyzing ERP experiments. This second edition has been completely updated  with additional
material  new chapters  and more accessible explanations. Freely available supplementary
material  including several online-only chapters  offer expanded or advanced treatment of
selected topics. The first half of the book presents essential background information 
describing the origins of ERPs  the nature of ERP components  and the design of ERP
experiments. The second half of the book offers a detailed treatment of the main steps involved
in conducting ERP experiments  covering such topics as recording the EEG  filtering the EEG and
ERP waveforms  and quantifying amplitudes and latencies. Throughout  the emphasis is on
rigorous experimental design and relatively simple analyses. New material in the second edition
includes entire chapters devoted to components  artifacts  measuring amplitudes and latencies 
and statistical analysis  updated coverage of recording technologies  concrete examples of
experimental design  and many more figures. Online chapters cover such topics as overlap 
localization  writing and reviewing ERP papers  and setting up and running an ERP lab.
