Reliability estimates for steady-state evoked potentials. 1987

T W Picton, and J Vajsar, and R Rodriguez, and K B Campbell

The steady-state evoked potentials are most efficiently recorded using Fourier analysis. The reliability of this evoked potential is best estimated using either Hotelling's T2 or phase coherence. Using these techniques, the response to 500 Hz tones presented at a rate of 40/sec can be reliably recognized on average down to intensities of below 15 dB SL in an awake subject. Sleep significantly decreases the amplitude of the response and significantly raises the threshold for recognizing the response by 11 dB.

D005583 Fourier Analysis Analysis based on the mathematical function first formulated by Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier in 1807. The function, known as the Fourier transform, describes the sinusoidal pattern of any fluctuating pattern in the physical world in terms of its amplitude and its phase. It has broad applications in biomedicine, e.g., analysis of the x-ray crystallography data pivotal in identifying the double helical nature of DNA and in analysis of other molecules, including viruses, and the modified back-projection algorithm universally used in computerized tomography imaging, etc. (From Segen, The Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992) Fourier Series,Fourier Transform,Analysis, Cyclic,Analysis, Fourier,Cyclic Analysis,Analyses, Cyclic,Cyclic Analyses,Series, Fourier,Transform, Fourier
