Abstract

(i) Optimal isolation of ERPs is critically dependent on stimulus contrast and electrode placement; (ii) ERPs appear to be more sensitive than primary sensory evoked potentials or the EEG in detecting impaired brain neuroelectrophysiological function; and (iii) Cirrhotic patients without overt encephalopathy in whom P3a and/or P3b latencies are prolonged may have subclinical hepatic encephalopathy.
