The event-related potential (ERP) is one of the most popular measures in human cognitive neuroscience. During the last few years there has been a debate about the neural fundamentals of ERPs. Two models have been proposed: The evoked model states that additive evoked responses which are completely independent of ongoing background electroencephalogram generate the ERP. On the other hand the phase reset model suggests a resetting of ongoing brain oscillations to be the neural generator of ERPs. Here, evidence for either of the two models is presented and validated, and their possible impact on cognitive neuroscience is discussed. In addition, future prospects on this field of research are presented.
事件相关电位（ERP）是人类认知神经科学中最常用的测量方法之一。在过去几年里，关于ERP的神经基础一直存在争论。已经提出了两种模型：诱发模型认为，完全独立于正在进行的背景脑电图的叠加诱发反应产生了ERP。另一方面，相位重置模型表明，正在进行的脑振荡的重置是ERP的神经发生器。在此，展示并验证了这两种模型的证据，并讨论了它们对认知神经科学可能产生的影响。此外，还介绍了该研究领域的未来前景。
