Evoked potentials are used to measure the electrical activity in certain areas of the brain and spinal cord. Electrical activity is produced by stimulation of specific sensory nerve pathways.

Evoked potentials test that record how quickly and completely the nerve signals reach the brain. Evoked potentials are used because they can indicate problems along nerve pathways that are too subtle to show up during a neurologic examination or to be noticed by the patient. The disruption may not even be visible on the MRI exam. These tests can be helpful in making the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurological disorders. The testing does not hurt and can last up to 1 hour.
