TL;DR
This approach revealed that late components of frontal, but not occipital, evoked potentials reflect the change of meaning of a symbolic stimulus when it appears in different temporal contexts.
Abstract
The use of context-sensitive symbols offers an appropriate methodology for investigating the representation of meaning in the brain. This approach revealed that late components of frontal, but not occipital, evoked potentials reflect the change of meaning of a symbolic stimulus when it appears in different temporal contexts.

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.
ScienceAttention, Vigilance, and Cortical Evoked-Potentials in Humans
357 Citations1964Manfred Haider, Paul Spong +1 more
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.
Psychosomatic MedicineStimulus Intensity Control and the Cortical Evoked Response
328 Citations1968Monte S. Buchsbaum, Julian Silverman
Cortical evoked potentials to light flashes of 4 intensities and performances on a kinesthetic figural after‐effects perceptual task (KFA) were obtained from normal and nonparanoid schizophrenic subjects and sex was found to be an important moderator variable of the relationship between evoked response measures and KFA values.
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical EngineeringA Multivariate Approach to the Analysis of Average Evoked Potentials
222 Citations1966Emanuel Donchin
An approach to the quantitative analysis of average evoked potential data is presented and it is assumed to be a sample from a multivariate normal distribution that can be applied to test hypotheses about the similarity or difference of evokes obtained under different conditions.
ScienceEnhancement of Evoked Cortical Potentials in Humans Related to a Task Requiring a Decision
217 Citations1964Hallowell Davis
The averaged, slow response evoked by auditory stimuli and recorded from the vertex of the human skull can usually be enhanced by requiring the listener to make a rather difficult auditory discrimination.
Electroencephalography and Clinical NeurophysiologyThe effects of attention and distraction on the contingent negative variation in normal and neurotic subjects
190 Citations1968W.C. McCallum, W. Grey Walter
The results suggested that the extent of the reduction was related to the degree of attention focussed on the distracting stimuli as opposed to the stimuli directly relevant to the experimental task.
Electroencephalography and Clinical NeurophysiologyEffects of attention and inattention upon visual evoked response
115 Citations1964E. García-Austt, J Bogacz +1 more
A correlation is established between VER changes and subjective experience, and it is shown that there is a close relationship between these changes and variations in attention.
NatureAn Effect of Stimulus Colour on Average Steady-state Potentials evoked in Man
103 Citations1966D. Regan
It was found that if the light stimulus were viewed with good voluntary fixation, and if its frequency and peak intensity were accurately maintained constant, an average steady-state régime occurred from about 12–20 sec after stimulus onset until at least 70 sec, during which the running average of the amplitude and phase of the synchronous component remained constant.
ScienceEffects of Visual Form on the Evoked Response
93 Citations1967E. Roy John, R. N. Herrington +1 more
The average visual evoked potentials elicited from relaxed human subjects are different for a blank visual field and one containing a geometric form, and are similar for versions of the same geometric fortn of unequal area.
NatureFunctional Relation between Stimulus Intensity and Photically Evoked Cerebral Responses in Man
75 Citations1965Herbert G. Vaughan, RICHARD C. HULL
Evidence is presented that the latency of visual perception decreases with increasing luminance as the inverse of this power function, which increases in approximate proportion to the cube root of stimulus intensity.
ScienceVisual Evoked Potentials as a Function of Flash Luminance and Duration
67 Citations1964J. D. Wicke, Emanuel Donchin +1 more
Computer-averaged evoked potentials were recorded to visual stimuli of constant duration and varying luminance, as well as to flashes whose luminance and duration varied reciprocally, suggesting a relationship between apparent brightness and evoking potentials.
ScienceEvoked Visual Potentials and Human Color Vision
63 Citations1965Thorne Shipley, Roy Jones +1 more
The waveform of the evoked visual potential is color specific and this specificity is absent in a color-deficient observer.

The results suggest a direct influence of the emotional centers (limbic system) on the visual perception of affective stimuli and the role of awareness and the specific modalities involved in conditioning.

57 Citations1965Milton M. Gross, Henri Begleiter +2 more
The shift from a casual task directed away from auditory stimuli to a task requiring a low order of effort directed to the auditory stimuli produced significant changes in the 4 major amplitudes and the total duration of the auditory evoked response.

42 Citations1969Henri Begleiter, Arthur Platz
Visual evoked potentials to a positive discriminative stimulus change systematically during sensory conditioning and extinction and reappears after reconditioning.

The electrophysiological responses to a flash of medium intensity have different wave shapes in trials in which the occurrence of bright stimuli or dim stimuli is expected.
