Evoked potentials (EPs) are electrical potentials recorded from the nervous system following the presentation of a stimulus. These stimuli can be visual, auditory, or tactile, and the resulting electrical activity is measured using electrodes placed on the scalp or other areas of the body. Evoked potentials are used primarily in clinical settings to assess the function of sensory pathways in the brain and nervous system.
