Claim One:
1. A system for monitoring neural function of a nerve, comprising: a first electrode configured to be suitable for nerve stimulus delivery and nerve response recordation; a first slave box connected to the first electrode, the slave box further comprising electrical stimulus circuitry and amplification circuitry to either deliver a stimulus to the first electrode via the stimulus circuitry or to receive a response from the first electrode via the amplification circuitry; a first switch having a first position to connect the first electrode to the electrical stimulus circuitry and disconnect the first electrode from the amplification circuitry to allow delivery of a nerve stimulus at the first electrode, and a second position to connect the first electrode to the amplification circuitry and disconnect the first electrode from the electrical stimulus circuitry to allow recording a nerve response at the first electrode; and a second electrode attached to the slave box, wherein the switch in the second position connects the second electrode to the electrical stimulus circuitry and disconnects the second electrode from the amplification circuitry, and the switch in the first position connects the second electrode to the amplification circuitry and disconnects the second electrode from the electrical circuitry.
