Erps = direct measure of neural activity - an electrical potential generated by the firing of cortical neurons in response to a specific event - which precisely coincides with that neural activity. Physiologically, erps represent the summation of post-synaptic potentials from populations of synchronously active neurons, located primarily in the cortex. The measured erp typically reflects one end of the electrical dipole produced by firing neurons: neural source can be estimated by considering the orientation and strength of a dipole signal, as measured at multiple sites across the scalp.
