17
Q

What does EEG reflect?

A

Dendritic activity of synchronized neocortical pyramidal cells

18
Q

What do ERPs reflect?

A

Brain activity relative to a given point in time (stimulus or response)

19
Q

Where does the PCN wave (N2PC) originate from?

A

The ventral occipito-temporal cortex

20
Q

What is the PCN wave hypothesized to reflect?

A

Attentional selection, or suppression of interference from distractors

21
Q

Where does the LRP wave originate from?

A

Motor areas (strongest over areas contralateral to a hand/foot movement)

22
Q

What is the LRP wave believed to reflect?

A

Preparation or activation of a motor response

23
Q

Who did the first EEG recording in man?

A

Hans Berger (1929)

24
Q

What was the first cognitive ERP component?

A

Contingent Negative Variation (CNV) - Grey Walter, 1964

25
Q

What are the few advantages of ERP over fMRI and PET?

A

Excellent temporal resolution (but poor spatial), inexpensive, portable/mobile

26
Q

Order the 5 frequency bands in order from lowest Hz to highest Hz.

A

Delta (1-4), Theta (4-7), Alpha (8-13), Beta (14-30), Gamma (30-80)
