Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses mass brain electrical potential (BEP) correlates of cognitive function in healthy people. A cognitive or mental function is the reportable, symbolic process intervening between a sensory stimulus—or its absence from a regular series—and a response. There are several conditions that must be met to show that a mass BEP is related to a cognitive function. Different spatiotemporal BEP patterns must be found for different cognitive functions, and these different patterns must not be a result of stimulus, response, or performance-related factors, which reflect a person's effort and skill. Measurement of correct performance during the exact period of time of BEP sampling is the only acceptable evidence that the cognition took place. A BEP pattern would be most convincing if it was spatially articulated rather than uniformly distributed, but this is not an absolute requirement.
