title: [Comments on the analysis of the P300 components using brain mapping].
abstract: Recently, Maurer and colleagues reported that the peak amplitude of the P300 was distributed in specific topographical patterns for demented, hebephrenic, and paranoid patients. This evidence is critically discussed. For the hebephrenic and paranoid patients, it is doubtful whether their topographic patterns differed from normal subjects, while for the demented patients the impact of EOG artifacts is not clear. Some recommendations are given how to deal with artifacts before mapping the P300.
