What is the ERP Bootcamp?
The ERP Boot Camp is an intensive introduction to the ERP technique, organized and led by Steve Luck with additional lectures by many other ERP experts. The boot camp is intended for beginning and intermediate ERP researchers--at any career stage--who would like to obtain a firm grasp of the fundamentals of ERP research.
Topics include:
1) Where do ERPs come from? What do they mean?
2) ERP components
3) Setting up and running an ERP lab
4) The design and interpretation of ERP experiments
5) EEG data acquisition
6) Filtering, artifact rejection, and artifact correction
7) Measuring and analyzing ERP components
8) ERP localization
We will also focus on the use of ERPs in several research areas, including:
1) Attention, memory, language, and executive control
2) Aging, dementia, and brain damage
3) Schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders
4) Cognitive development
The boot camp consists of lectures on these topics, accompanied by discussions of classic and contemporary ERP papers and guided lab activities (e.g., EEG recording, filtering waveforms, measuring ERP components).
