The tracing of electrical activity in the brain in response to a specific external stimulus. The procedure is similar to that for an EEG. The technique is used to check the functioning of various sensory systems (such as sight, hearing, or touch). The information obtained can be used to reveal abnormalities caused by inflammation, pressure from a tumour, or other disorders, and to help confirm a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
