Applications of a signal averager for neurophysiological investigations in clinical function laboratories using a general signal-processing unit.
A general 'coherent signal averager' software package which can be run on a small laboratory computer is presented as an application of a new approach to medical instrumentation. The combination of the minicomputer, preprocessing hardware and the above-mentioned software yields a flexible multipurpose averaging system for electrophysiological signals. The possibilities of the system are discussed with reference to visual evoked potential measurements in a clinical function laboratory.
