Statistical Analysis

ERPLAB does currently include any statistical analysis functions. There are too many different ways to analyze ERP data, and we do not want to funnel researchers into a specific approach. Instead, we expect users to export the data into software packages that are specifically designed for statistical analysis (e.g., R, JASP).

For conventional amplitude and latency analyses, you can measure the amplitudes or latencies from the averaged ERP waveforms using the Measurement Tool and then export the data as a text file. We provide multiple different export formats that are designed for different types of analysis packages.

If you would like to use the mass univariate approach, in which the amplitude at each time point is analyzed individually with a correction for multiple comparisons (e.g., the cluster-based permuation method), you can use the Mass Univariate Toolbox. This is a Matlab package that can directly read the ERPsets created by ERPLAB.
