evoked potential: audition  

Definition

  • Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) represent synchronous neural activity in the brain in response to a sound changing—for example, in frequency or level—and that can be recorded from electrodes attached to the scalp. AEPs can be used to detect hearing loss in newborns and infants; they are exquisitely sensitive at the millisecond (ms) level to changes in conduction time in axons and temporal processing in neurons.
