The Third Edition of this reliable reference is a single resource for the clinical neurophysiologist performing evoked potentials in clinical practice.

Coverage includes:

• new clinical applications for evoked potential (EP) tests
• advanced test variations such as motor and cognitive EPs
• new techniques that improve the efficiency of testing

Step-by-step instruction is provided on methodology and interpretation for each major test -- pattern-shift visual, brainstem auditory, and short-latency somatosensory.

New to this edition:

• a section on evoked potential monitoring in the operating room
• new techniques for eliminating artifact and improving the averaging process are described
• important techniques such as pattern electroretinography and registration of peripheral nerve action potentials are explained
