Overview

This new volume brings together a wealth of information on event-related potentials of the brain, an area which has grown increasingly important as researchers attempt to understand the workings of the human brain using noninvasive imaging techniques. The volume addresses the neurophysiological bases of ERPs, brain stems and cognition, as well as applications. It will be of interest to a wide range of researchers in perceptual, cognitive, and motor behavior.

Reviews

'Most neuropsychologists will find articles in this collection well worth reading ... a good review of the ERP results from studies of at-risk groups, and a clear discussion of the theoretical issues raised by genetic-risk research.' Warren S. Brown, Neuropsychologia, Vol. 31, No. 12, 1993
