Evoked potentials (EPs) are electrical signals generated by the central nervous system in response to a stimulus. EP tests are used to diagnose neurological diseases and monitor surgeries. Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) are used to test the somatosensory pathways, and clinical trials use electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves. Signal averaging is required due to low-amplitude […]
