The N1 deflection may be detected at most recording sites, including the occipital, parietal, central, and frontal electrode sites. [1] Although, the visual N1 is widely distributed over the entire scalp, it peaks earlier over frontal than posterior regions of the scalp, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] suggestive of distinct neural and/or cognitive correlates.

The electrodes are normally placed about an inch apart, and the resistance recorded varies according to the emotional state of the subject. Galvanic skin potential (GSP) refers to the voltage measured between two electrodes without any externally applied current. It is measured by connecting the electrodes to a voltage amplifier.
An electrode introduced into the brain of a living animal will detect electrical activity that is generated by the neurons adjacent to the electrode tip. If the electrode is a microelectrode, with a tip size of about 1 micrometre, the electrode will usually detect the activity of at most one neuron.
The ERN is a sharp negative going signal which begins about the same time an incorrect motor response begins, (response locked event-related potential), and typically peaks from 80 to 150 milliseconds (ms) after the erroneous response begins (or 40–80 ms after the onset of electromyographic activity).
Three of the most studied attributes of the N170 include manipulations of face inversion, facial race, and emotional expressions. It has been established that inverted faces (i.e., those presented upside-down) are more difficult to perceive [13] (the Thatcher effect is a good illustration of this).

Having defined , the trial number, and , the time elapsed after the th event, each recorded trial can be written as (,) = + (,) where () is the signal and (,) is the noise (Under the assumptions above, the signal does not depend on the specific trial while the noise does).
Graph showing a typical Auditory Brainstem Response. The auditory brainstem response (ABR), also called brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) or brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) or brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) [1] [2] is an auditory evoked potential extracted from ongoing electrical activity in the brain and recorded via electrodes placed on the scalp.
