A microprocessor controlled multi-channel evoked potential data acquisition system.

A stored program control system is described for the acquisition of evoked potential (EP) data. It is a small, portable and flexible system with a variety of input and output possibilities. The system presents a low cost solution to the problem of acquisition of evoked potential data. A novel method of converting and reducing sixteen channels of EEG analogue data to their digital equivalent is shown. It is adaptable for the inter active control of experiments and is sophisticated enough to deal with the complexities of experimental control as well as data manipulation. One of the major advantages of the system is that both the sequencing of the functions and their detailed make-up can be readily altered by programming to meet the individual requirements of any given situation.
