Good news: We have received another 5 years of funding from the National Institute of Mental Health, so we plan to hold ERP Boot Camps in each of the next 5 summers. https://t.co/PI7ZXuZZaf

[The ERP Boot Camp @erpbootcamp]

As in most previous years, all attendees will receive a scholarship that covers most or all travel and lodging expenses. There will be no registration fee. https://t.co/PI7ZXuZZaf

Although I was really hoping to provide evidence that the P3b is related to working memory encoding, and we looked hard to find this evidence, I no longer believe that this is a viable hypothesis.

[The ERP Boot Camp @erpbootcamp]

A common idea is that the P3b ERP component (aka P300) reflects the updating of working memory. However, there aren’t any direct tests of this hypothesis. In a new paper (with @CDCarrasco, @simmonsaam, @john_kiat), we provided a test of this hypothesis. https://t.co/P5ARs9Hd4B

In addition, single-trial P3b amplitude was unrelated to working memory accuracy.

We will not be offering an ERP Boot Camp in Summer 2025, but our plan is to resume in Summer 2026. In the meantime, you can host a Mini ERP Boot Camp at your institution! If interested, please email us at [email protected] for more info

Reminder: We will hold a Zoom webinar in English to demonstrate ERPLAB Studio on Friday, June 28, from 8:00-10:00 AM (US Pacific Time). Advance registration is required at this link. Register soon because it might fill up. We will also make a recording. https://t.co/pnmXE5GCr8

[The ERP Boot Camp @erpbootcamp]

Rather than operating as an EEGLAB plugin, ERPLAB Studio is a standalone Matlab program that provides a more efficient and user-friendly interface to the most commonly used EEGLAB and ERPLAB routines.

We also have a manual that describes every feature in detail. https://t.co/TTPo2HtTFT

If you already know how to use the original version of ERPLAB (which we now call ERPLAB Classic), you can quickly learn how to use ERPLAB Studio with our Transition Guide. https://t.co/KI54XzQnAG

If you’re new to ERPLAB, we strongly recommend that you go through our tutorial before starting to process your own data. https://t.co/zCyGT7SfG2
