	Evoked potential - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In neurophysiology, an evoked potential (or "evoked response") is an electrical potential recorded from a human or animal subject following presentation of a stimulus, as distinct from spontaneous potentials such as electroencephalograms or electromyograms.
		Evoked potential amplitudes tend to be low, ranging from less than a microvolt to several microvolts, compared to tens of microvolts for EEG, millivolts for EMG, and often close to a volt for EKG.
		Visual evoked potentials may be induced by a flashing light, auditory evoked potentials by the onset of a sound, and somatosensory evoked potentials by a solenoid pulsing against a person's skin.

	Visual evoked potential - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A visual evoked potential (VEP) is an evoked potential caused by sensory stimulation of a subject's visual field.
		Visual evoked potentials are also used in the investigation of basic functions of visual perception.
		Sometimes, the term "visual evoked cortical potential" (VECP) is used to distinguish the VEP from retinal or subcortical potentials.

		Evoked potentials were measured by synchronous filtering of the EEG at the stimulus fundamental and its first harmonic.
		Previous studies have made extensive use of "transient" evoked potentials, which are computed by averaging a large number of repetitive responses to separate the desired signal from concurrent "noise." While this technique has provided some insight into the brain mechanisms, it has the fundamental inability to track short-term changes in brain state.
		The evoked potential results were analyzed as follows: The waveform data from the first 30 seconds of a run were discarded to remove the effects of filter rise-time, initial eye movements, and other transient events.

	Evoked Potential Responses
		Evoked Potential Responses are minute electrical signals generated by the brain and spinal cord when transmitting and processing responses to sensory stimuli.
		Visual evoked responses are usually elicited by having the subject look at an alternating checkerboard pattern on a TV screen and measuring a response from an electrode on the scalp applied with a water soluble paste.
		Somatosensory evoked responses are usually measured from a series of brief electrical shocks in the arms and legs and may be measured from the scalp, at points along the spine, or both.

	Cognitive Evoked Potential Testing
		An evoked potential test is an electrical manifestation of the brain’s reception of and response to an external stimulus.
		Cognitive evoked potential tests, also known as the P300 or P3, have been used in investigational settings to attempt to correlate changes in cognitive evoked potentials with clinical changes in cognitive function in patients with dementia and in attempting to identify the etiology of depression in patients with chronic demyelinating disease.
		Due to a lack of scientific evidence concerning the effect on treatment decisions and health outcomes of patients and the lack of studies comparing cognitive evoked potential tests with standard neuropsychiatric and psychometric tests used in diagnosing cognitive dysfunction, the technology assessment criteria are not met.

		Evoked potentials are defined as potentials that are caused by the electrical activity in the central nervous system after a stimulation.In analysis of evoked potentials the main problem is to extract waveform from the measurements that also contain on-going background electroencephalogram (EEG).
		The most conventional tool for the analysis of evoked potentials has been the averaging of the measurements over an ensemble of trials.
		This is the optimal way to improve the signal-to-noise ratio when the evoked potential is a deterministic signal in independent and additive background noise of zero mean.

	WHAT ARE AUDITORY EVOKED POTENTIALS AND AUDITORY EVENT-RELATED POTENTIALS?
		This event may be a sensory stimulus (such as a visual flash or an auditory sound), a mental event (such as recognition of a specified target stimulus), or the omission of a stimulus (such as an increased time gap between stimuli).
		AEPs (and ERPs) are very small electrical voltage potentials originating from the brain recorded from the scalp in response to an auditory stimulus (such as different tones, speech sounds, etc.).
		A very different type of auditory evoked potential are the Auditory Steady-State Responses (ASSR), which are responses to stimuli presented at rates such that the brain response to one stimulus is overlapped with responses to other stimuli.
