This book simply would not have been possible if it had not been for the hard work and creativity of the wonderful people who have worked in my lab over the years.

I'd like to start with a shout-out to Emily Kappenman. Emily and I have worked together for over 15 years on the ERP Boot Camp and many other efforts designed to promote rigorous and high-impact ERP research. Emily spearheaded the ERP CORE, which is one of the two main pillars of this book. Jaclyn Farrens also put years of work into the CORE, and the CORE was pushed across the finish line with help from Wendy Zhang and Andrew Stewart.

The other pillar of this book is ERPLAB Toolbox. The first several releases of ERPLAB were written entirely by Javier Lopez-Calderon, and his fingerprints can still be seen throughout the software. After Javier moved on, Andrew Stewart took over programming duties, and he wrote the initial code for the data quality metrics. After Andrew's departure, my lab manager Aaron Simmons filled in for a while, and it's amazing how much he added while simultaneously running my lab. Aaron made a ton of changes that will make your life easier as you go through the exercises in this book and then apply ERPLAB to your own data. Guanghui Zhang has recently become the primary ERPLAB developer, and I can't wait for the world to see the new version that he's working on now.

I'd also like to thank the other members of my lab who provided feedback on drafts of the book, including (alphabetically) Brett Bahle, Carlos Carrasco, John Kiat, Lara Krisst, Orestis Papaioannou, and Kurt Winsler. I received additional feedback from several members of the UCD EEG Research Group.

In addition, I'd like to acknowledge the National Institute of Mental Health, which has funded ERPLAB for many years (grant R01MH087450) and made this book possible.

Finally, I'd like to thank Lisa and Ruthie, who did their best to keep me sane during the writing process.
