Abstract
Changes in evoked electrical activity of the brain are related to critical reduction in cerebral blood flow both in man and primates (Trojaborg and Boysen 1973; Branston et al., 1974). Somatosensory evoked potentials following median nerve stimulation have been found useful to monitor cerebral ischaemia (Symon et al., 1979; Hargadine et al., 1980), following subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracranial aneurysm surgery.
