Abstract
A method is described to compare two evoked potential scalp fields in order to decide if the two fields are the same or different. The metho d uses Efron's bootstrap technique which avoids potential errors due t o assumptions about the underlying stochastic process, It is configure d to focus only on the shape of the evoked potential scalp field, The method is applied to a simple visually evoked potential paradigm and r esults are compared to the chi-square test using data from 7 normal su bjects.
