Electrophysiology of mind : event-related brain potentials and cognition /

Show other versions (1)

This book reviews a productive period of research aimed at connecting brain and mind through the use of scalp-recorded brain potentials to chart the temporal course of information processing in the human brain. The book serves as both as a summary of where we have been and as a pointer of the way ah...
