1. Determine the threshold inter-stimulus interval (ISI) at which preceding contralateral stimulation ceases to affect the SEP waveforms (latency, amplitude, and morphology) of the test stimulus.
2. Compare SEPs elicited by upper-limb (median nerve) and lower-limb (tibial nerve) stimulation to examine differences in site-specific characteristics.
3. Validate the alternating left-right stimulation method and contribute to its appropriate application in clinical neurophysiological testing, rehabilitation research, and intraoperative monitoring.

Although this is actually a single-blind randomized trial in which the antecedent stimulus is varied randomly for each subject, data entry is not possible due to a system bug.
The following procedures were performed on the median and tibial nerves (stimulation frequency: 2 Hz)
Upper and lower limbs: 8 conditions
(A) Right only, (A') Left only, (B) Simultaneous,
(C) ISI = 20 ms, (D) 50 ms, (E) 100 ms, (F) 150 ms, (G) 250 ms (alternating left and right)
Additional conditions for lower limbs only: 4 conditions
(B') 10 ms, (B'') 15 ms, (C') 25 ms, (C'') 30 ms
Total: 16 conditions (upper and lower limbs) + 4 conditions (lower limbs only) = 20 conditions
9-5. Stimulation parameters
Median nerve: 10 mA or less (intensity causing slight thumb movement)
Tibial nerve: 20 mA or less (intensity causing slight toe movement)
Analysis time: -110 to 190 ms
Frequency band: 2-2,000 Hz
Signal averaging: 500 trials
Each condition takes approximately 5 minutes, resulting in a total measurement time of approximately 90 minutes (proceeding from left to right in the figure below).
