Abstract
Advances in biomedical engineering (equipment, recordings), and in the neurophysiological analysis of the peripheral and central nervous system, combined with the need to monitor functions of the nervous system during general anesthesia and surgical interventions on the spine and spinal cord, have led to the recent development of clinical neurophysiology for spinal cord monitoring.
