As in most previous years, all attendees will receive a scholarship that covers most or all travel and lodging expenses. There will be no registration fee. erpinfo.org/summer-boot-ca…

Good news: We have received another 5 years of funding from the National Institute of Mental Health, so we plan to hold ERP Boot Camps in each of the next 5 summers. erpinfo.org/summer-boot-ca…

Although I was really hoping to provide evidence that the P3b is related to working memory encoding, and we looked hard to find this evidence, I no longer believe that this is a viable hypothesis.

In addition, single-trial P3b amplitude was unrelated to working memory accuracy.

A common idea is that the P3b ERP component (aka P300) reflects the updating of working memory. However, there aren’t any direct tests of this hypothesis. In a new paper (with @CDCarrasco, @simmonsaam, @john_kiat), we provided a test of this hypothesis. doi.org/10.1111/psyp.7…

We will not be offering an ERP Boot Camp in Summer 2025, but our plan is to resume in Summer 2026. In the meantime, you can host a Mini ERP Boot Camp at your institution! If interested, please email us at erpbootcamp@gmail.com for more info
