The Nc (negative-central) ERP (event-related potential) component in the infant oddball procedure. The oddball procedure presents familiar and novel stimuli to the infant briefly, and the ERP is recorded at the onset of the stimuli. The Nc is shown on the Cz electrode recording, separately for attentive and inattentive periods and the frequent familiar, infrequent familiar, and infrequent novel stimuli (left panels). Scalp topographical potential maps (upper right panels) show the Nc component occurring during sustained attention for infants at three ages.
