<P><H1>Abstract</H1><BLOCKQUOTE>
Klimesch's attempt at explaining memory processes by what
is known about EEG rhythms is impressive. However he fails in his
"speculative" attempt (as he calls it) to integrate event-related
EEG potentials (ERPs) into this picture. The ERP results discussed
in this commentary are presumably not incompatible with Klimesch's
approach, but require considerable differentiation of his
approach.
