Abstract
ABSTRACT This note provides a statistical‐graphical method for the evaluation of the statistical significance of difference potentials from a group of subjects, and for the comparison of difference potentials between two groups. A table of the lengths of statistically significant intervals for various sampling interval lengths, numbers of subjects, and autocorrelation parameters is presented.
