Fine in Wraps: binding square and secure; text clean. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Somewhat Squarish 8vo. 374 pages.Cognitive Neuroscience Series. First Edition Thus [2005]; First Printing indicated. University Press Paperback. The event-related potential (ERP) technique in cognitive neuroscience allows scientists to observe human brain activity that reflects specific cognitive processes. In An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique, Steve Luck offers the first comprehensive guide to the practicalities of conducting ERP experiments in cognitive neuroscience and related fields, including affective neuroscience and experimental psychopathology. The book can serve as a guide for the classroom or the laboratory and as a reference for researchers who do not conduct ERP studies themselves but need to understand and evaluate ERP experiments in the literature. It summarizes the accumulated body of ERP theory and practice, providing detailed, practical advice about how to design, conduct, and interpret ERP experiments, and presents the theoretical background needed to understand why an experiment is carried out in a particular way. Luck focuses on the most fundamental techniques, describing them as they are used in many of the world's leading ERP laboratories. These techniques reflect a long history of electrophysiological recordings and provide an excellent foundation for more advanced approaches. This type of entry-level, comprehensive book about ERP technique has been badly needed by the field and Dr. Luck has written a book that is not only a very informative reference but incredibly readable. I will be giving it to every new trainee who comes into the lab. I've been working with ERP's for nearly 6 years now, and as I become a more independent scientist, I've started to realize that I do not have a very integrated knowledge of the specifics underlying ERP's. This book has been a god-send! It's an easy read - seemingly quite suited for undergraduates even, and describes the basic nuts and bolts for any ERP lab. There is a larger focus on later components, as this seems to be the primary focus of the author's reasearch, with some popular midlatency components getting glossed over, but this in no way diminishes the relevance for any person interested in understanding and performing ERP research. First Edition Thus [2005]; First Printing indicated.

Thebook also provides advice on the key topic of how to design ERP experiments so that they will beuseful in answering questions of broad scientific interest. This reflects the increasing proportionof ERP research that focuses on these broader questions rather than the "ERPology" of early studies,which concentrated primarily on ERP components and methods. Topics covered include the neuralorigins of ERPs, signal averaging, artifact rejection and correction, filtering, measurement andanalysis, localization, and the practicalities of setting up the lab.
