ABSTRACT
This key chapter shows that cognitive and memory-related processes are distributed throughout the whole brain, based on cat experiments using chronically implanted electrodes and applying paradigms similar to those used for humans in different focused attention states, as described in Chapter 3. The cats were stimulated with repetitive auditory stimuli to induce expectancy states that were registered as changes of eventrelated potentials (ERPs) recorded in various intracranial structures. Multiple electrodes were placed in various layers of the hippocampus (HI), cortex, and brain stem.
