| Evoked potentials | Evoked potentials, also known as evoked responses, are electrical signals elicited by stimulation of sensory organs or nervous tissue, as opposed to spontaneous potentials such as EEG or EMG. Due to their low amplitude, evoked potentials usually require signal averaging to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. (references) | ||

| Evoked Potentials | Health | The electric response evoked in the central nervous system by stimulation of sensory receptors or some point on the sensory pathway leading from the receptor to the cortex. The evoked stimulus can be auditory, somatosensory, or visual, although other modalities have been reported. Event-related potentials is sometimes used synonymously with evoked potentials but is often associated with the execution of a motor, cognitive, or psychophysiological task, as well as with the response to a stimulus.

| Evoked potentials | Religion | The use of electrodes to measure the electrical activity of nerves. May be used as a guide during surgical removal of tumors growing around important nerves. (references) | |
