Synopsis

Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) are used as measures of covert brain function. Their usefulness as such has led to an enormous increase of interest in their basic character and their application in clinical and research settings. Written by internationally recognized investigators, Event-Related Brain Potentials aims to meet this growing interest. It provides an up-to-date and comprehensive review of current knowledge as well as discussions of factors that will shape future developments.

The book is divided into four sections, each addressing a key area in ERP research. Much of the material covered is new and has not received such in-depth and systematic discussion before. In keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of research in this area, it includes views from experts in the fields of neurology, psychiatry, cognitive psychology, biophysics, engineering, and genetics. It also contains extensive bibliographies and is fully indexed.

About this title

Review

'Most neuropsychologists will find articles in this collection well worth reading ... a good review of the ERP results from studies of at-risk groups, and a clear discussion of the theoretical issues raised by genetic-risk research.'Warren S. Brown, Neuropsychologia, Vol. 31, No. 12, 1993
