A bilateral N2pc (N2pcb) component is elicited by search targets displayed on the vertical midline

The study of visually elicited event‐related potentials (ERPs) detected at posterior recording sites during visual search has enormously advanced our knowledge about how and when visuo‐spatial attention locks onto one or more laterally presented target objects. The N2pc component to lateral targets has been pivotal to further our understanding of the mechanisms and time course of target selection in visual search. However, the N2pc cannot track...
