P300 -- Thirteen Years Later

  • Chapter
Evoked Brain Potentials and Behavior

Part of the book series: The Downstate Series of Research in Psychiatry and Psychology ((DSRPP,volume 2))

Abstract

It was 13 years ago, almost to the day, in the spring of 1964 that we first observed P300.1 The size of the component impressed us a great deal. Over the years, we were even more impressed with its reliability. In hundreds of experiments with normal subjects, using many variations of the original design, P300 was always found to be larger the greater the amount of uncertainty resolved.
