With slight modification, these best practices for EEG research are also applicable to ERP research studies. Rather than focusing on appropriate selection of frequency band, ERP studies focus on appropriate selection of waveform components for infants and young children, which vary in latency and amplitude from adult ERP components. The “baseline” in ERP studies is the part of the waveform prior to stimulus onset and is typically 100 milliseconds. Issues regarding number of electrodes in the montage, selection of reference electrode, and data analysis are similar for EEG and ERP studies.
