A model referenced method for the identification of evoked potential component wave forms.
Visual evoked potentials from rat visual cortex are described as the sum of components. Each component wave form is based on a mathematical model of neural activity. The model referenced approach yields an accurate description of the evoked potential wave forms before and after administration of an anesthetic known to alter neural activity. Thus, the method is efficient, is based in neurophysiology and is sensitive to drug effect on brain activity.
