Abstract
Past research has proved equivocal in providing a correlation between the amplitude of cortical evoked potentials and attended or unattended stimuli. The present experiment is a further investigation of the relationship between selective attention and the cortical evoked potentials and avoids some methodological artifacts. The results of the experiment provide no direct support for the postulated correlation between the two variables, but do suggest two possible explanations of this state of affairs.Keywords
