The N170 is an event-related potential (ERP) component that is typically observed using electroencephalography (EEG). It appears approximately 170 milliseconds after the presentation of a visual stimulus, particularly when the stimulus involves faces or familiar objects. The N170 is characterized by a negative deflection in the EEG signal and is believed to reflect processes related to the perception and recognition of faces.
