事件相关电位（ERP）方法在社会认知和情感神经科学（SCAN）中的应用并不像其他神经成像技术那样广泛，但它们具有一些独特的优势。特别是，ERP测量神经活动的高时间分辨率使它们非常适合研究快速展开的认知和情感过程的动态相互作用。在这篇文章中，我们强调了ERP方法对科学家调查SCAN问题的效用。我们首先简要介绍erp的生理基础和方法实践的讨论。然后，我们讨论了如何使用ERP来解决有关社会感知、社会认知、态度、影响和自我调节的一系列问题，并举例说明了使用ERP方法在这些领域贡献重要理论进展的研究实例。无论是单独使用还是与其他技术结合使用，ERP都是社会和情感神经科学家方法论工具包中不可或缺的一部分。
Event-related potential (ERP) approaches to social cognitive and affective neuroscience (SCAN) are not as widely used as other neuroimaging techniques, yet they offer several unique advantages. In particular, the high temporal resolution of ERP measures of neural activity make them ideally suited for studying the dynamic interplay of rapidly unfolding cognitive and affective processes. In this article, we highlight the utility of ERP methods for scientists investigating questions of SCAN. We begin with a brief description of the physiological basis of ERPs and discussion of methodological practices. We then discuss how ERPs may be used to address a range of questions concerning social perception, social cognition, attitudes, affect and self-regulation, with examples of research that has used the ERP approach to contribute important theoretical advances in these areas. Whether used alone or in combination with other techniques, the ERP is an indispensable part of the social and affective neuroscientist's methodological toolkit.
