What Does ERP Stand For?
ERP stands for Event Related Potential
Event Related Potential (ERP) refers to a measured brain response that is the direct result of a specific sensory, cognitive, or motor event. ERPs are derived from electroencephalography (EEG) and are characterized by time-locked electrical activity in the brain, allowing researchers to study neural processing associated with various psychological processes. These measurements are crucial in understanding aspects of attention, perception, and memory, contributing to fields such as cognitive neuroscience and clinical psychology.
