Phase Spectrum of the Visually Evoked EEG Response as a Measure of Latency.

The latency of evoked response waveforms has become an important clinical parameter. Latency is defined as the time between stimulus onset and a specific peak of the evoked response waveform. The latency of the visual evoked response (VER) waveform is a measure of neural conduction time in diagnosing multiple sclerosis (Regan, 1979). Slowed conduction shown by abnormally increasedpeak latencies in different sensory evoked responses can also help locate tumors and other structural lesions of the nervous system, areas of ischemia, and infarction (Grundy, 1983). Investigators have measured the latency of evoked responses in studies designed to find anesthetic drugs which do not affect the evoked response wave-form; the evoked response is monitored intraoperatively as an indicator of integrity of neural transmission paths (Grundy, 1983).
