•The event-related visual occipito-temporal N700 component is sensitive to stimulus probabilities.•Visual P1, N1, N700, but not P3, showed larger amplitudes to rare than frequently presented letters.•N700 sensitivity to probabilities might reflect an orienting response on the level of visual cortex....
