auditory evoked potentials

Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) are electrical signals produced by the brain in response to sound. When you hear a noise, your ears detect it, and your brain processes the information, generating these signals. AEPs are measured using electrodes placed on the scalp, allowing researchers and doctors to evaluate how well the auditory system is functioning. They are useful in diagnosing hearing issues, understanding brain responses to sound, and monitoring patients during surgery. Overall, AEPs provide important insights into how the brain interprets auditory information.
