Abstract
Optimal use of evoked potentials (EP) for clinical studies requires a good understanding of its generator sources. Numerous methodologies, many of them interrelated and all with significant limitations, have been used to define the generators of evoked potential peaks. In this chapter, we will discuss and analyze critically these different approaches.
