[Eeglablist] ERP study

[Stephen Politzer-Ahles]

It's not very clear to me what specific hypothesis you are trying to test
--- "find if there is correlation between these Colors and Notes" is a bit
vague.

Regarding your other questions:
You never "have" to use a specific set of channels, but it is good to focus
on some that you have an *a priori* prediction about. (On the other hand,
if you specifically want to show that the effect is limited to a certain
region --- e.g., if you want to claim that an effect is "frontal" or
something --- then you also need to test other channels, to show an
interaction such that an effect is present in one place and not another.)
These *a priori* predictions will usually come from what is expected based
on previous studies.
As for re-reference, yes, you can always re-reference to different channels
and then get back you original reference channel. There are consequences to
which reference you use, so you should look at previous papers studying
similar topics as you and see what reference channels they chose, and why.
There are also some papers and books discussing the pros and cons of
different reference choices (e.g., Luck 2005/2014).

best,
Steve
