In the context of neuroscience, "P50" typically refers to a specific type of auditory evoked potential that occurs approximately 50 milliseconds after the onset of a sound stimulus. This potential is part of the event-related potentials (ERPs) that can be measured using electroencephalography (EEG). The P50 component is often associated with the brain's processing of auditory information and is thought to reflect neural mechanisms related to attention, sensory filtering, and habituation.
