ERPLAB Studio: Learning to Use ERPLAB Toolbox

For a detailed introduction to both the ERPLAB software and the concepts underlying ERP processing and analysis, see Steve Luck's book, Applied ERP Data Analysis. It's available for free online, and it's filled with exercises using real data. The first edition was written for ERPLAB Classic, but by the time you are reading this there may be a newer edition for ERPLAB Studio.

In addition, we recommend the following documents from the online ERPLAB documentation:

• Read the installation information to make sure that you install ERPLAB correctly
• Read about Important Background Concepts and Data Structures and Basic ERPLAB Processing Steps
• Learn the most basic processing steps by doing the exercises in Parts 1 and 2 of the ERPLAB Studio Tutorial (through the point of making and plotting an averaged ERP waveform)

  • Boundary Events and Disabled Events
  • BINLISTER Overview (for assigning events to bins)
