•We study spectral dynamics of EEG associated with visual ERPs.•We apply a complex continuous wavelet transform.•Spectral dynamics varies for delta, theta, alpha and beta bands.•Spectral energy changes non-monotonically during ERPs.•An inherent pattern of energy transformation between bands during ERP is revealed.
We study spectral energy transformations in the electroencephalogram associated with visual evoked potentials initiated by red, green and yellow light flashes. With the aid of a complex continuous wavelet transform we show spectral energy changes to occur non-monotonically in delta, theta, alpha and beta bands. Each band has inherent energy flow patterns for 1 s after stimulation. Energy flows in alpha and beta bands are alike and differ from those in theta and delta bands. Beta band power and energy flows are small.
