Abstract
IT has been known for over 20 yr that cerebral responses evoked by peripheral nerve stimulation can be recorded from the scalp in man and that they may be altered by disease. But clinical application has been impeded by the variability of the cortical response, particularly of its later components, and by lack of knowledge of its origins. We have explored the possibility of recording from lower levels of the central sensory pathway.
