AO3 - ERP

• Can identify small specific electrical signal responses associated with a specific stimulus, helping improve our understanding of specifc brain function.

  Strength - ERP
• Doesnt know which neurons generated ERPS


  Limitation - ERP
• Can only look at signals generated by the cortex.

  Limitation - ERP
• Requires a large number of trials to obtain meaningful data.


  Limitation - ERP
• High temporal resolution - provides a real time recording of brain activity.


  Strength - ERP
• Cannot detect activity in deeper regions of the brain.

  • Cannot provide insight into parts of the brain where other techniques are required.


  Limitation - ERP
• Lack of standardisation between researchers over the way data is statistically analysed.

  • makes it hard to check and confirm findings.

  Limitation - ERP
