Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Event-related potentials (ERP) is a non-invasive technique that measures the electrical activity of the brain in response to specific stimuli, such as sounds. This technique can be used to determine if a newborn, like River, is able to detect and process sounds. Electroencephalography (EEG) is also a non-invasive technique that measures brain activity, but ERP is more specific to measuring responses to specific stimuli. Microelectrode recordings and electromyography are not appropriate for testing auditory perception.
