Oxford Handbook of Event-Related Potential Components

Event-related potentials (ERPs) have been used for decades to study perception cognition emotion neurological and psychiatric disorders and lifespan development. ERPs consist of multiple components and reflect a specific neurocognitive process. In the past there was no single source that could be consulted to learn about all the major ERP components; learning about a single ERP component required reading dozens or even hundreds of separate journal articles and book chapters. <p/><em>The Oxford Handbook of Event-Related Potential Components</em> fills this longstanding void with a detailed and comprehensive review of the major ERP components. Comprising 22 chapters by the field's founders and leading researchers this volume offers extensive coverage of all relevant topics: <p/>- the fundamental nature of ERP components including essential information about how ERP components are defined and isolated<br>- individual components such as the N170 P300 and ERN<br>- groups of related components within specific research domains such as language emotion and memory<br>- ERP components in special populations including children the elderly nonhuman primates and patients with neurological disorders affective disorders and schizophrenia <p/>While undeniably broad in scope these chapters are accessible to novices while remaining informative and engaging to experts. <em>The Oxford Handbook of Event-Related Potential Components</em> is a unique and valuable resource for students and researchers throughout the brain sciences.<br>
