Here we have:
- EMG measures and relation to muscle force
- Neuromuscular junction excitability
- Sensory and motor nerve conduction velocity
- Hoffman's reflex

- visual, somatosensory, and acoustical evoked potentials.

In general, the equipment is quite simple, mostly stimulators and
oscilloscopes, as well as a few computers equipped with pre-amps
and data acquisition cards.
