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 new book, Applied ERP Data Analysis. It's available for free online, and it's filled with exercises using real data.

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 Basic ERPLAB Processing Steps and Important background concepts and data structures
• "Get your feet wet" by going through the first few chapters of the ERPLAB Tutorial (through the point of making and plotting an averaged ERP waveform)
• Learn some important background by reading the following sections of the ERPLAB manual:
  • Using EEGLAB (and perhaps some of the EEGLAB documentation)
  • The EventList Structure
  • Boundary Events and Disabled Events
  • Getting Useful Information from the Matlab Command Line
  • Assigning Events to Bins with BINLISTER
• Go through the rest of the ERPLAB Tutorial (through the point of making and plotting an averaged ERP waveform)
• Learn how to perform Behavioral Analyses
• Learn how to write ERPLAB scripts with the ERPLAB Scripting Guide
