Averaged evoked responses in vigilance and discrimination: a reassessment

Averaged evoked responses in vigilance and discrimination: a reassessment

W Ritter et al. Science. .

Abstract

With the use of monopolar recordings for averaged evoked responses, detected signals in a vigilance task are associated with a late positive component which is absent for undetected signals as well as nonsignals. Bipolar recordings obscure the late positive component associated with detected signals. The data suggest that the late positive component represents cerebral processes associated with evaluation of unpredictable changes in stimulation.
