title: Contributions to the history of the discovery of P300.
abstract: Discovery of P300 was preceded by a number of EEG findings related to expectancy of a stimulus, starting with a classical paper of Adrian and including the well known publication of Grey Walter. Our own studies published with Ellen in 1960 demonstrated the occurrence of positive waves occurring in the hippocampus at the time of expected but non-existing stimuli.
