[Eeglablist] Removal of distortion due to overlapping ERP responses - ADJAR filter

[Frank H Duffy]

A key thing is to understand whether, on physiological grounds, there 
may be an interaction between the two conditions, i.e., A alters the B 
waveform (or the opposite)  as seen for the long latency AER if you 
closely pair auditory clicks.  Is the problem a simple arithmetic 
(result =A+B)  or is there likely to be a strong interaction effect 
between A and B?  Indeed some people estimate the degree of interaction 
by adding A alone and B alone signals  and compare to the A+B experiment.
Good luck.

I willemploy an experimental paradigm in which an experimental event A isfollowed by an event B after a variable SOA on each trial. My interestis in the ERP evoked by the Bs. However, the resulting ERP waveform -time-locked to event B - will be "contaminated" by the responses to theAs.
