A few of the most common techniques include somatosensory sensory evoked potentials (SSEPs), motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), and spontaneous and triggered electromyography (EMG). Each technique varies in its sensitivity and specificity level when it comes to detecting the possibility of injury, but having more data in real time
