Overview of the UC-Davis ERP Bootcamp
The UC-Davis ERP Boot Camp is an intensive introduction to the ERP technique, organized and led by Steve Luck with additional lectures by many other ERP experts.
Boot Camp topics include:
1) Where do ERPs come from? What do they mean?
2) The design and interpretation of ERP experiments
3) Common ERP components
4) Setting up and running an ERP lab
5) EEG data acquisition
6) Filtering, artifact rejection, and artifact correction
7) Measuring and analyzing ERP components
8) ERP localization
We also focus on the use of ERPs in several research areas, including:
1) Attention, memory, language, and executive control
2) Aging, dementia, and brain damage
3) Schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders
4) Cognitive development
The boot camp consists of lectures on these topics, accompanied by
discussions of classic and contemporary ERP papers and guided lab
activities (e.g., EEG recording, filtering waveforms, measuring ERP
components). We also provide opportunities to meet individually or
in small groups with ERP experts, who can provide personalized advice
and information.
Participants at previous Boot Camps have come from around the world and
have ranged from beginning graduate students to full professors. They
have included psychologists, neuroscientists, psychiatrists,
neurologists, and speech pathologists.
We encourage the participation of individuals from underrepresented groups.
