Both components showed scalp distribution contralateral to the stimulus location.
Scalp distribution of MMN was mainly fronto-central.
The second component, with a relatively uniform scalp distribution, was modulated by within- and cross-domain priming of familiar faces.
Strikingly, these effects differed from those obtained 10 min after study in both their polarity and scalp distribution.
The typical scalp distribution for the MMN is maximal at frontal sites, and inverted at sites below the Sylvian fissure when a nose reference is used.
In line with the known scalp distribution of the MMN [37], feature vectors from the Frontal and Central site produced significantly better results than ones from the Parietal site.
In this paper, we explored the functional properties of person recognition system by investigating the onset, magnitude, and scalp distribution of within- and cross-domain self-priming effects on event-related potentials (ERPs).
In the two tasks, natural and artifactual stimuli elicited ERPs with a different scalp distribution: ERPs were more positive at posterior (parietal and temporal) sites for the natural stimuli and in the frontal areas for the artifactual ones.
This scalp distribution, though observed on a reduced array of sensors, conforms with the classic morphology of the MMN and is identical to that observed using similar pattern paradigms [40].
Latencies, amplitudes, and scalp distribution of LEPs recorded during fMRI were not significantly different from those recorded in a control session outside of the MR scanner using the same equipment and experimental design.
Relative to neutral and negative stimuli both positive verbs and happy faces elicited posterior ERP negativities that were indistinguishable in scalp distribution and resembled the early posterior negativities reported by others.
