Abstract :
Until a few decades ago assessment of nervous function by techniques based on electronic engineering was restricted to advanced laboratories involved in specialised research. Initially the electroencephalogram (EEG), later the electromyogram and finally the general acceptance of evoked potentials (EPs) as valuable tools, has transformed the diagnostic process and firmly established electronic engineering and computing as vital parts of modern medicine, including ophthalmology
