Competency information
Details
Identify causes of error/artefacts encountered and the non-pathological effect in the recording of evoked potentials and their elimination.
Considerations
- Common causes of error/artefacts encountered in the measurement of evoked potentials, including non-fixation, sub-maximal stimulation and muscle artefact.
- Non-pathological effects of error and artefacts in the recording of evoked potentials and their elimination.
