<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">1) Where do ERPs come from? What do they mean?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">2) ERP components</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">3) The design and interpretation of ERP experiments</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">The Boot Camp consists of lectures on these topics,
accompanied by guided discussions of ERP papers, activities, and individual
consultations. It is led by Steve Luck, and the faculty includes many
distinguished ERP researchers from UC Davis and other universities.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Participants at previous Boot Camps have come from
around the world and have ranged from beginning graduate students to full
professors. They have included psychologists, neuroscientists, psychiatrists,
neurologists, and speech pathologists. </span><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Typically, we expect that graduate students and postdocs will have
had at least 1 year of significant ERP (or related) experience before attending
the Boot Camp.</span><span style="font-family:Helvetica"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">We strongly encourage the participation of individuals
