Single-trials in event-related potential (ERP) experiments consists of electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings of brain activity time-locked to experimental events. These are usually averaged across a set of similar or identical events to increase their signal/noise ratio relative to non-phase locked EEG activity and non-brain artifacts, regardless of the fact that response activity may vary widely across trials in time course and scalp distribution. Averaging thus may not be suitable for investigating neuron brain dynamics involving transitory and intermittent subject cognitive states. Analysis of single ERP epochs, on the other hand, while ideal, suffers from confusions caused by significant EEG artifacts associated with blinks, eye-movements, and muscle noise, by large non-phase locked background EEG activities, and by the wide variability in latencies and amplitudes of ERP waveforms from trial to trial. This study introduces a new visualization tool, the 'ERP image', for investigating variability in latencies and amplitudes of event-evoked responses in spontaneous EEG or MEG records. Second, we apply a new linear decomposition tool, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) [I], to multichannel single-trial EEG records to derive spatial filters that decompose single-trial EEG epochs into a sum of temporally independent and spatially fixed components arising from distinct or overlapping brain or extra-brain networks. We demonstrate the power of the proposed analysis and visualization tools for single-trial ERP analysis through This report was supported in part by grants from the Office of Naval Research and Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
