Event-related components are structurally represented by intrinsic event-related potentials

Event - Related Potentials

11 Electroencephalography is one of the most popular psychophysiological methods in clinical and 12 preclinical research and provides a recording that reflects the global electrical activity of the 13 brain – the EEG. A limitation of the EEG is that it represents the summation of all the electrical 14 activity at a given moment in time, making it difficult to isolate the activity associated wit...

Event-Related Potentials

Electromagnetic activity is generated by neurons in the cerebral cortex and subcortical structures of the brain. Neurons generally differ from other cell types of the body by being specialized for the reception, integration, and conduction of excited states. The shape of the neuron is related to its specialized function. Two types of branching extension of the cell body, the dendrite and the ax...

Neural Basis of Intrinsic Motivation: Evidence from Event-Related Potentials

Human intrinsic motivation is of great importance in human behavior. However, although researchers have focused on this topic for decades, its neural basis was still unclear. The current study employed event-related potentials to investigate the neural disparity between an interesting stop-watch (SW) task and a boring watch-stop task (WS) to understand the neural mechanisms of intrinsic motivat...

Event-related potentials and dyslexia.

Developmental dyslexia is conventionally defined as " a disorder in children who, despite conventional classroom experience, fail to attain the language skills of reading, writing and spelling commensurate with their intellectual abilities ". There is evidence that dyslexic children are slow in a number of language-related tasks1. Recently, however, speed deficits have been discovered2 even in ...
