  1. Event-related potentials (ERPs) Jarrod Blinch motorbehaviour.wordpress.com May 31st, 2011

  2. Type of electrodes • Non-polarised silver-chloride (Ag/AgCl) • Tin • Gold or platinum

  3. How many trials? • EEG 50 uV • ERPs • 60 trials for large component (~10 uV, P300, RP/LRP) • 150 medium (~5 uV) • 400 small (~1-2 uV)

  4. Overview • Event-related potentials (ERPs) • Advantages and disadvantages • ERP components and waveform peaks • Strategies to interpret ERP components • Quantifying noise • Components • Readiness potential (RP, LRP) • P300 (P3a, P3b) • Fractionating information processing • Osman and Moore, 1993 (LRP) • Luck, 1998 (P3b)

  5. Event-related potentials (ERPs) • Averaging to generate ERPs • Tiny effects • Relying on previous ERPology • Reliability • Low within-participant variability • High between-participant variability

  6. Advantages and disadvantages Advantages Disadvantages Functional significance Tiny effects Spontaneous or induced potentials Spatial resolution Peaks versus components… Latency jitter… • Continuous measure of processing • Independent of a behavioural response • Evoked or emitted potentials • Noninvasive • Temporal resolution

  7. Imperative stimulus Response initiation Reaction time

  8. ERP components and waveform peaks

  9. Strategies to interpret ERP components • Focus on a specific component • Use well-studied experimental manipulations • Focus on large components • Isolate components with difference waves • Focus on components that are easily isolated • Use component-independent experimental designs • Hijack useful components from other domains

  10. Quantifying Noise

  11. Overview • Event-related potentials (ERPs) • Advantages and disadvantages • ERP components and waveform peaks • Strategies to interpret ERP components • Quantifying noise • Components • P300 (P3a, P3b) • Readiness potential (RP, LRP) • Fractionating information processing • Osman and Moore, 1993 (LRP) • Luck, 1998 (P3b)
