[The cognitive potential in normal adults]

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of the auditory cognitive potential in a group of normal adults. The evoked response was obtained at Cz and Fz. The data collected were statistically analysed. The mean latencies of N1, P2, P2AP, N2, P3 and amplitude of P3, as well the standard deviation of these variables were presented. We briefly comment on some pitfalls related to interpretation of the results as well as the limitations of the technique as a diagnostic tool.
