The spontaneous EEG and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) were examined in chickens before and after electrical stunning using a waterbath stunner. Fifty-four per cent of the birds became epileptic and lost their SEPs, and 17% were non-epileptic and appeared to retain their SEPs. It was concluded that there was a reasonably close association between the presence of epileptiform activity in the EEG and the absence of SEPs following electrical stunning, but that the absence of SEPs could be preferred as an indicator of an effective stun on conceptual grounds.
在使用水浴式电击昏器对鸡进行电击昏前后，对其自发脑电图和体感诱发电位（SEPs）进行了检测。54%的鸡出现癫痫发作并失去了体感诱发电位，17%的鸡未出现癫痫发作且似乎保留了体感诱发电位。得出的结论是，脑电图中癫痫样活动的出现与电击昏后体感诱发电位的缺失之间存在合理的紧密关联，但基于概念原因，体感诱发电位的缺失可作为有效击昏的指标更为可取。
