Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP)

Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) are recorded from the central nervous system following stimulation of peripheral nerves.

Introduction

Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP) are electric signals recorded from the scalp or spine following stimulation to the peripheral nerves. They are time-locked responses, representing the function of the ascending sensory pathways.
