Abstract:
A physiological interpretation is presented of ERP parameters, in relation to their origin. This interpretation is based on the type of the electric contribution of every active neuron to the ERP wave registered. Through the solid-angle theorem it is shown that an active neuron contributes to the ERP with a low electric potential while its activation lasts. This gives a physiological meaning to the parameters which describe the ERP wave.
