Summary
Electroencephalography (EEG) and its measures, such as event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and time-frequency analysis (TFA), are powerful tools for investigating cognitive and behavioral processes in humans and therefore are increasingly attracting attention in the social and behavioral sciences. This chapter has been written for readers who are interested in getting involved in EEG research or who may already have some experience and wish to expand their toolbox of EEG methods. It aims to address both needs by providing a brief overview of human electrophysiology, with new users in mind, followed by a discussion of common challenges and typical applications. We conclude by describing current trends and potential for future developments.
