This program reads single or double-precision data from LINCtape; displays a waveform, baseline and cursor; and finds peaks and zero-crossover points for principal evoked potential deflections. The complex waveform is reduced to fundamental waveform descriptors in terms of amplitude, latency, rise, fall and peak area. The program also estimates coefficients to an elemental waveform involving a damped sinusoidal function that characterizes the evoked potential. The program has general application in neurophysiology but may be useful to other kinds of problems involving data reduction and analysis.
