AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the reliability of P300 latency and amplitude in event-related potentials (ERPs) among 30 healthy adults, with a particular focus on the P300 component, which reflects cognitive processing.
- The results revealed that P300 latency had an excellent reliability score (ICC of 0.81), while the amplitude had a more moderate reliability (ICC of 0.53), with the average latency being 311.3 ms.
- The findings suggest that P300 latency is a more reliable measure than amplitude and, with further research, could serve as a useful indicator for evaluating cognitive states and predicting outcomes.
Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate intra-tester reliability of P300 more precisely, this study was designed. Event-related potential (ERP) is the result of endogenous brain response following cognitive stimulus. The P300 component of the human ERP is a positive wave with a latency of 300 ms or greater. Our purpose of this study was to estimate reliability of P300 latency and amplitude with 30 normal persons without head injury, as well as to set up them as the reference values in the event that they would be found to be highly reliable.
Methods: ERP was performed at three separate times on 30 normal adults in their 20s and 30s. We measured P300 latency and amplitude among ERP.
Results: P300 latency show excellent reliability with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.81. As to P300 amplitude, reliability was good to fair with ICC of 0.53. Average value of P300 latency was 311.3±37.0 ms, shorter than reference value of previous study in Korea.
Conclusion: P300 latency revealed higher reliability than P300 amplitude, although reliability of P300 was confirmed in both component. After further study including precise mechanism, influence factor on measurement and method standardization, it is expected to be an objective indicator to assess the cognitive state and predict prognosis.
