A Nonlinear Regression Procedure for Evoked Potential Data Analysis.

Abstract

The recording and subsequent analysis of evoked potential activity has proven useful for the evaluation of neural dysfunction resulting from impact acceleration injury involving the head and neck. In animal impact acceleration experiments involving Rhesus monkeys, somatosensory evoked potentials showed an increase in latency following nonlethal experiments. In order to assess quantitatively and objectively the amplitude and duration of the latency effect following impact acceleration, a nonlinear mathematical model has been proposed. This technical report describes a nonlinear regression procedure for fitting the proposed model directly to empirical latency data. A FORTRAN computer program listing is provided. (Author)
