Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term commonly used for the electrical signal evoked by a class of sensory, motor, or cognitive events, which is observed by averaging multiple EEG traces, is the event-related potential or ERP. A is incorrect because brain response potential is not a commonly used term. B is incorrect because mean event trace is not specific to the type of signal being observed by EEG. D is incorrect because neural activity trace is too broad a term and does not specify the type of signal being measured by EEG.
