TLDR
The data support the proposition that the latency of P300 corresponds to stimulus evaluation time and is independent of response selection.
Abstract
A technique for measuring the latency of the P300 component of event-related brain potentials on individual trials is described. Choice reaction times and the latency of the P300 were compared under speed-maximizing and under accuracy-mazimising instructions. The choice stimuli required different levels of semantic categorization. The data support the proposition that the latency of P300 corresponds to stimulus evaluation time and is independent of response selection.

Influence of aesthetic perception on visual event-related potentials

TL;DR: The categorization of the aesthetic qualities of geometrical shapes seems to induce a higher level of attention, while a higher arousal variation was elicited by the recognition of beauty, in any form that was presented.

Stimulus frequency and masking as determinants of P300 latency in event-related potentials from auditory stimuli ☆

TL;DR: The effects of target tone frequency, presence of a masking stimulus, and subject sex on the auditory ERP were studied with an 'oddball' paradigm and the role of stimulus parameters in applied testing situations is discussed.

Evoked-Potential Correlates of Stimulus Uncertainty

TL;DR: The average evoked-potential waveforms to sound and light stimuli recorded from scalp in awake human subjects show differences as a function of the subject's degree of uncertainty with respect to the sensory modality of the stimulus to be presented.

On quantifying surprise: the variation of event-related potentials with subjective probability.

TL;DR: A priori probability and sequential structure appear to be independent determinants of the P300 complex, which was assessed to determine the waveform of event-related potentials elicited by task-relevant stimuli.
