      Background: Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) are used extensively to quantify cortical activity in response to noxious and/or non-noxious sensory stimuli. However, data demonstrating the reliability of SEP measures in response to non-noxious stimulation over time are scarce.
      Aim: We investigated the relative and absolute reliability, and the smallest detectable change at 95% confidence (SDC 95 ) for SEPs evoked by non-noxious electrical stimulation of the paraspinal muscles in thirty-nine healthy participants at a 3-month interval.
      Methods: SEPs were evoked at an intensity three-times that of each participant's perceptual threshold and recorded from a single electrode placed over the primary somatosensory cortex (S1).
      Results: Our analyses reveal that i) latency, as a measure of activity onset, has poor relative reliability but good absolute reliability; ii) area, as a measure of cortical activity, has good relative and absolute reliability (except for the N 150 component) and iii) perceptual threshold and stimulation intensity was not reliable over time.
      Conclusion: These findings suggest that the area of the N 80 and P 260 SEP components, and the area of the N 80 -N 150 -P 260 SEP complex, can be utilised in future studies as reliable markers of cortical activity.
