NDT 1260 Basic Evoked Potentials

An introduction to evoked potential recording techniques, focusing on equipment operation, waveform principles, and the identification of normal and abnormal patterns. Topics include electrode placement, calibration, and obtaining clear, replicable waveforms for brainstem auditory, visual, and somatosensory evoked potentials in both adult and pediatric subjects. Two classroom, three lab hours per week.
