What are cortical dimensions?

Cortical mentioned possible hearing Dimensions (CAEP) are used to determine whether certain sounds produce an electrical response in the brain of a patient. HEARLab provides the healthcare professional hearing with an easy method of execution of this measure. A signal converter as an insert earphone, a Knochenzerhacker or a loudspeaker sound field is used to supply the test signal to the patient who is passive attention. Electrodes placed on the main measure of patient cortical response. A statistical analysis of each response (a "p-value") is calculated automatically to determine the likelihood that a CAEP signal was present. The clinician may this analysis check with a visual inspection of the measured cortical response. CAEP can be tested on patients unable or unwilling to be, to communicate on the clinician whether they can hear a signal. This could include children and young children who have not yet developed language skills, and adults who Video- unfit or uncooperative. Cortical Dimensions be carried out when the patient is and. wake the patient can be maintained during the test with reading material or a soft DVD. Small children can be checked when in the arms of her parent and kept playing with a quiet toy alarm.
