When electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns over brief periods are recorded in response to specific stimuli, these EEG patterns are referred to as:

A) evoked potentials.
B) electrodermal responses.
C) event associations.
D) galvanic skin responses.

Evoked potentials are EEG patterns that are recorded in response to specific stimuli, such as auditory or visual stimuli. They are commonly used to study sensory processing and information processing in the brain. Electrodermal responses and galvanic skin responses refer to changes in skin conductance in response to emotional stimuli, while event associations is not a term used in the context of EEG recordings.
