interaction, but many people find this extremely difficult. To help develop a better understanding
of this type of memory, we sought to obtain measures of the neural events responsible for
successfully forming a new face-name association. In particular, we compared (1) memory for
faces, (2) memory for names, (3) memory for face-name associations using event-related
potentials extracted from high-density scalp EEG recordings. Our results suggest that different
neural events at the time of encoding are relevant for these distinct aspects of remembering
people.

This study compared the event-related potential elicited by the passive and active engagement in
vibrotactile imagery induced by brief presentation of 200ms vibration stimuli applied to the right
hand. Active imagery involved the match of 2 out of 10 stimuli presented in 5s apart, whereas
passive imagery was to mentally rehearse a prior vibration stimulation. Active imagery was found
to emerge a more positive P300 at frontal cortex (Fz) (p=.006) and a more negative N400 at
occipital cortex (Oz and O1) (p
