Definition

  • A visual evoked potential (VEP) refers to a systematic change in the electrical activity of someone's brain in response to a change in what the person is viewing. It is revealed by averaging over many trials the raw electrical activity, the electroencephalogram (EEG), recorded from 2 to 256 electrodes at standard positions on the person's head from each individual trial.
