ERP—Exploring the temporal microstructure of cognitive functions in the brain

Abstract

Event Abstract Back to Event ERP—Exploring the temporal microstructure of cognitive functions in the brain Mikael Roll1* 1 Lund University, Center for Languages and Literature, Sweden Current investigations are making it possible to analyze MRI data at a spatial microstructure level. However, temporal resolution is poor in MRI. Using electroencephalography (EEG) and the event-related potentials (ERP) technique, neurocognitive events can be recorded with a millisecond precision. However, this method provides limited information on the brain sources of the signal. The present contribution provides a short introduction to the use of EEG in neurocognitive research.
