Electrophysiologic assessment of auditory and visual function in the newborn.
This chapter describes the utility of event-related potential recordings in the assessment of auditory and visual system integrity in the newborn infant. A battery of electrophysiologic tests is described that permits the evaluation of sequential levels of processing within these sensory system.
