Abstract
A statistical mechanics of neuronal interactions (SMNI) is explored as providing some a basis for correlating EEG evoked potentials to reaction times. Some specific elements of SMNI, previously used to develop a theory of short-term memory (STM) and a model of electroencephalography (EEG) are key to providing this basis. Hick´s law, an observed linear relationship between reaction time (RT) and the information storage of STM is derived
