Somatosensory Evoked Potentials(SEPs)

Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) consist of a series of waves that reflect sequential activation of neural structures along the somatosensory pathways.(Emerson RG, Seyal M, Pedley TA. Somatosensory evoked potentials following median nerve stimulation. I. The cervical components. Brain. Mar 1984;107 (Pt 1):169-82.)
體感誘發電位(SEPs)是常見的感覺誘發電位之一 ，是當感覺器官、感覺神經或感覺傳導途徑上任何一點受刺激時，在中樞神經系統引導出的電位,它可以反映與感覺神經途徑相關的機能狀態.
