ERP is a method that measures electrical activity in the brain that occurs in response to a specific event or stimulus, allowing researchers to examine the time course of cognitive processes. fMRI, on the other hand, measures changes in blood flow and oxygenation in the brain, which can be used to identify the location of activity, making it more useful for studying the anatomy of cognitive processes.
