The oddball paradigm is an experimental design used in psycho-/neurological research. The subject experiences repetitive stimuli which are infrequently interruped by a deviant stimulus. The brain’s reaction to this “oddball” stimulus then gets recorded.
Researchers found that ca. 300ms after the oddball stimulus, a larger potential can be measured in the parieto-central area. This stimuli presentation has been named P300.
