Neurophysiological monitoring using spontaneous and evoked bioelectrical brain activities provides functional assessment of the central nervous system. This sixth part of the review article summarizes results from electroencephalographic and evoked potential monitoring in connection with acupuncture. The article reflects the impact of new techniques on acupuncture research (e.g., 600 Hz oscillations).
