At present, ERP is not only used in the study of lie detection, but also in the clinical medicine for the cognitive assess-ment on patients with cerebrovascular disease, dementia or traumatic brain injury and auxiliary diagnosis of mental illness. with the further development of ERP detection technology, it would have a wider ap-plication prospect in the field of forensic medicine.
