Figure 1

An example of magnitude and pattern of multidimensional ERP measures for combining to univariate phenotypes. ERP measures are projected as profiles. Measures within a block (block 1: late time window – 3–7 Hz wave band, block 2: late time window – 1–2.5 Hz wave band, block 3: early time window – 3–7 Hz wave band) are connected. Within each block measures are taken at different locations on the skull. The dotted line represents the mean of all measures. Blue, ERP-M taking into account structure + magnitude: measures of block 1 are much larger than eothers (block 2 and 3), independent from location on the skull. Red, ERP-P taking into account structure: measures of the central and parietal midline channel are larger than those of the frontal channels, this pattern is congruent across blocks.
