Spinal cord monitoring, as currently practiced, requires a source of sensory stimulus, transmitted through filters and amplifiers, to result in an enhanced signal, which is recorded and studied. Three techniques are under investigation. In one, the stimulation and responses are recorded directly from the dura. In another, the stimulus is applied to a peripheral nerve and the response is gathered from vertebral bone. The third utilizes responses in the form of cortical evoked potentials, with the stimulus applied to peripheral nerves.
目前实施的脊髓监测需要一个感觉刺激源，通过滤波器和放大器进行传输，以产生一个增强的信号，该信号会被记录和研究。有三种技术正在研究中。一种是直接从硬脑膜记录刺激和反应。另一种是将刺激施加于外周神经，并从椎骨收集反应。第三种则利用皮质诱发电位形式的反应，将刺激施加于外周神经。
