What is it about?
Recording of intraoperative VEP has not been easy. We proposed new designed stimulatiing method for recording of intraoperative VEP. The most important point is that long-time light emission is used instead of flash stimulation.

Why is it important?
VEP recording in an anesthetic environment is unstable, individual differences, and also has no quantitative correlation. The method proposed by us suggests a quantitative correlation between stimulus amount and potential and/or latency, so it is easy to guess the extent of disability. High reproducibility and no individual difference also works favorably for intraoperative monitoring.
Perspectives
I have been suffering from the instability of intraoperative VEP record for a long time. It is a great pleasure to find a way to achieve stable VEP recording. Visual preservation due to stable intraoperative monitoring of VEP recording can contribute to the function preservation of surgery. At the same time, we believe that the development of this recording method has the possibility as a new method of VEP recording.
