  • event related potentials
  • measure electrical activity in brain in response to a stimulus
  • electrodes attached to scalp
  • procedure called ‘averaging’ which reduces any extraneous neural activity to make the specific response to the stimulus stand out
  • latency = time between the presentation of the stimulus and the response
  • ✔️ unintrusive
  • ✔️ high temporal resolution
  • X low spatial resolution
