This laboratory exercise manual provides the newcomer with the basic information needed for recording and reading the major diagnostic tool, auditory brain stem evoked potential (ABEP). It is assumed that persons using this book are beginners to ABEP but familiar with some types of clinical laboratory instruments and procedures, and possess a reasonably sophisticated knowledge of auditory neuroanatomy and neurophysiology and of working with clients/patients. Auditory Brain Stem Evoked Potentials helps develop the practical, "hands-on" auditory electrophysiological skills and techniques necessary to supplement the technical information obtained from a traditional classroom format. This laboratory exercise manual concentrates on auditory brain stem evoked potential (ABEP) techniques, with limited additional material on auditory middle latency potentials (MLPs), auditory long latency potentials (LLPs), and electrocochleography (ECoG). The intent is to teach the process involved in obtaining auditory electrophysiological data, knowledge of which would transfer to administration of a variety of other tests.The text stresses understanding normal variations so the student can progress to understanding pathological variations.
