I understand what event related potentials are but I'm unsure about
their use. I read that they are used to "study the time course of
higher-level processes in the human brain, such as perception and
attention" but I don't really understand how this is concluded from
the fluctuation which is produced on the EEG. I also can't see the
use of this information. What do we learn about the mind or the brain
from knowing how long it takes to perceive a light flash or a word
being spoken?
