Critical Analysis of the Methods Used to Identify Generator Sources of Evoked Potential (EP) Peaks

  • Chapter
Advanced Evoked Potentials

Part of the book series: Topics in Neurosurgery ((TINS,volume 2))

Abstract

Optimal use of evoked potentials (EP) for clinical studies requires a good understanding of its generator sources. Numerous methodologies, many of them interrelated and all with significant limitations, have been used to define the generators of evoked potential peaks. In this chapter, we will discuss and analyze critically these different approaches.
