A Brain Event Related to the Making of a Sensory Discrimination.

Ritter, Walter; And Others

Science, v203 n4387 p1358-61 Mar 1979

Analysis of event-related potentials associated with detected targets in a vigilance task showed that a negative component (N2) covaried in latency with reaction time. These results support the hypothesis that N2 reflects a decision process which controls behavioral responses in sensory discrimination tasks. (BB)
