A PC-based system for visual evoked potential studies.

Abstract

An interactive PC-based computer controlled system is described that can be used for collection and analysis of data of Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs). Visual stimuli are generated on a high-resolution color monitor driven by an Enhanced Graphics Adaptor (EGA). The VEP waveforms are digitized by an A/D converter at a sampling rate of 1 KHz and stored on a hard disk for further analysis. The analysis software includes both time and frequency analysis routines as well as some innovative techniques for the use of the VEPs as a diagnostic measure for various diseases.
