TL;DR
A long-latency comnponent of the averaged evoked potential recorded from the human scalp varied in close relationship with subjects' perceptual reports in an auditory signal detection task.
Abstract
A long-latency comnponent of the averaged evoked potential recorded from the human scalp varied in close relationship with subjects' perceptual reports in an auditory signal detection task. Detected signals evoked potentials several times larger than did undetected signals, falsely reported signals, or correctly reported nonsignals. The threshold signal intensity at which detection perfornmance exceeded chance levels was identical with concurrently obtained electro-physiological measures of threshold.

ScienceEvoked-Potential Correlates of Stimulus Uncertainty
3,066 Citations1965Samuel Sutton, Margery Braren +2 more
The average evoked-potential waveforms to sound and light stimuli recorded from scalp in awake human subjects show differences as a function of the subject's degree of uncertainty with respect to the sensory modality of the stimulus to be presented.
ScienceInformation Delivery and the Sensory Evoked Potential
700 Citations1967Samuel Sutton, Patricia Tueting +2 more
The waveform of evoked responses recorded from human scalp is not determined solely by the physical eliciting stimulus, but also varies as a function of the effective information provided by the stimulus.
ScienceResponses of Human Somatosensory Cortex to Stimuli below Threshold for Conscious Sensation

Averaged evoked responses of somatosensory cortex appeared with stimuli which were subthreshold for sensation which were deficient in late components, which bear on the problems of neurophysiological correlates of conscious and unconscious experience and of "subliminal perception".

Computer-averaged potentials evoked from the cortex were recorded to nonsignal stimuli and to randomly interspersed signal stimuli requiring detection and response during prolonged visual vigilance as detection efficiency diminished over time.

312 Citations1966Hallowell Davis, Stanley Zerlin
The average amplitude of the slow, diffuse, nonspecific electrical response of the human cortex, called the V potential, evoked by tone pips or by tactile stimuli to thumb and forefinger, follows a power law with exponent about 0.24.

The data suggest that the late positive component represents cerebral processes associated with evaluation of unpredictable changes in stimulation in the context of vigilance tasks.

During the periodic presentation of vibratory stimuli at rates faster than 1 stim/10 sec the amplitude of the cortical evoked response of man decreases as a function of time, and this effective information might result from a comparison between information concerning stimulus parameters stored by the CNS and the actual incoming event.

ScienceAttention-Related Increases in Cortical Responsivity Dissociated from the Contingent Negative Variation
64 Citations1971Merlin W. Donald, William R. Goff
The fact that attention-related increases in P300 amplitude are recorded independent of corresponding systematic changes in contingent negative variation indicates that the two phenomena are independently variable modulations of cortical activity.
