Hi Mehmet,<br><br>This is a common convention for all ERP research, not just P300 (although it's not universally followed). If you have Steven Luck's book <i>An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique</i> (2004), he mentions this on p. 10, saying that it might have been adopted from a convention neurophysiologists used in plotting action potentials a hundred years or so ago.<br>
<br>Since currently some people choose to plot negative up and some choose to plot negative down, it's always a good idea to label your figures clearly and indicate which direction is which.<br><br>Best,<br>Steve<br><br>

Hi all,<br><br>p300 is conventionally plotted on an inverted axis( positive potentials to down), is there a reason to end up with this convention?<br><br>Best,<br><br><br>
