  • Physiologic recorders designed for detecting, amplifying and recording the brain\'s bioelectric response (i.e., the evoked potential [EP]) to visual, auditory, and/or somatosensory external stimuli. These recorders typically consist of detachable electrodes usually placed on the scalp and/or the skin over the spine; signal amplifiers; filters (to suppress interference); memory (e.g., electronic or optical/magnetic disc); and a display. EP recorders usually include capabilities to deliver external stimuli (e.g., electric, visual) appropriate to elicit the bioelectric response needed for recording. EP recorders are mainly used in studies intended to diagnose auditory lesions and sensory function abnormalities; they are also used for screening the auditory function in infants as well as the sensory function after trauma or in comatose patients. Devices that combine EP and myographic recording capabilities are also available.
