A general framework for defining evoked potential paradigms

Abstract

We have developed a framework for defining a range of evoked potential paradigms through the completion of screen forms rather than through the modification of program code. Within this framework, an experimenter can specify stimulus events and their timing, randomization of different stimuli, collection of responses, rejection of artifacts, and detection of peaks within the averaged waveforms. Printed copies of the screen forms and of timing diagrams derived from them can later be incorporated into the documentation of the experiment.
