Investigations using event-related potentials (ERPs) in brain-injured patients affected by neuropsychological disorders of perception, attention, memory, and language, and other special syndromes such as blind-sight, neglect, prosopagnosia, and apraxia are reviewed. These electrophysiological techniques can be used to assess the integrity of specific brain processes during the performance of cognitive tasks in which behavioral impairments are observed. A special feature of ERP technique is that it reveals ongoing and covert processing which may not be fully assessed by measuring only overt behavioral performance.
本文综述了利用事件相关电位（ERP）对受感知、注意力、记忆和语言等神经心理障碍以及盲视、忽视、面孔失认症和失用症等其他特殊综合征影响的脑损伤患者进行的研究。这些电生理技术可用于评估在观察到行为障碍的认知任务执行过程中特定脑过程的完整性。ERP技术的一个特殊之处在于，它揭示了正在进行的和隐蔽的加工过程，而仅通过测量明显的行为表现可能无法对其进行全面评估。
