Updating P300: An Integrative Theory of P3a and P3b

TL;DR: The empirical and theoretical development of the P300 event-related brain potential is reviewed by considering factors that contribute to its amplitude, latency, and general characteristics.

An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique

TL;DR: In An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique, Steve Luck offers the first comprehensive guide to the practicalities of conducting ERP experiments in cognitive neuroscience and related fields, including affective neuroscience and experimental psychopathology.

Invariant visual representation by single neurons in the human brain

TL;DR: A remarkable subset of MTL neurons are selectively activated by strikingly different pictures of given individuals, landmarks or objects and in some cases even by letter strings with their names, which suggest an invariant, sparse and explicit code, which might be important in the transformation of complex visual percepts into long-term and more abstract memories.

On the utility of P3 amplitude as a measure of processing capacity

TL;DR: The utility of P3 amplitude as a sensitive and diagnostic measure of processing capacity remains limited because the two principal task variables that have been used to manipulate capacity allocation have opposite effects on the amplitude.

Cognitive and biological determinants of P300: an integrative review

TL;DR: The effects of natural and environmentally induced state variables on the P300 suggest that these factors contribute to P300 measures and are discussed in terms of their theoretical and applied implications.
