The preface and introduction of the book "An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique" by Steven J. Luck provide an overview of the content and structure of the book. It acknowledges the contributions and sets the stage for the detailed exploration of event-related potentials (ERPs) and their neural origins. The book covers various aspects of ERP research, including the design and interpretation of ERP experiments, basic principles of ERP recording, averaging and artifact management, filtering techniques, plotting and analysis methods, ERP localization techniques, and the setup of an ERP laboratory. It also includes a appendix on basic electrical principles and concludes with notes, references, and an index.The preface and introduction of the book "An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique" by Steven J.
