A sequence of three programs is described for the collection and subsequent analysis of auditory evoked potentials using a PDP-12 computer. The first program (AVEF) controls stimulus generating equipment, and collects, tags, displays, and stores individual responses. The second program (SUPRSNAP) pe

โฆ Synopsis
A detailed description of a set of programs is presented which is designed for use with subjects tested in a research laboratory primarily with visual evoked potentials (VEPs). It has been written in a way which accommodates other modalities such as brain-stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs). It can be used in a clinic or a hospital for collecting patient information, data recordings, and analysis. The programs are implemented on an LSI-11/23 microcomputer and allow for initial subject data entry, entry of data acquired at subsequent visits, data analysis, lists of patient files and data sorts and tabulations. In their present form they are intended to be run by a staff who have little experience with computers and technical skills.

We have developed a computer program for Wiener filtering of evoked potential data. The basic algorithm involves computation of the difference between the power spectrum of the sweep sum and the sum of power spectra of individual sweeps. Power spectra axe computed by means of the discrete Fourier tr
A collection of data, whether encoded as a relational database or as a document collection, contains information that may be measured.

The clinical utility and limitations of somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) studies are reviewed. Somatosensory evoked potentials may help to identify a lesion in the sensory pathways, but do not indicate its nature. In multiple sclerosis subjects, the SEP findings may help to establish that there
