The purpose of this book is to provide you with a practical overview of the data processing operations that are used to extract the ERPs from the EEG. This includes preprocessing operations that reduce noise and artifacts, the signal averaging operation at the core of extracting the ERPs, and the postprocessing operations that are used to convert the ERP waveforms into a small set of variables for statistical analysis.
