1. An apparatus for assessing physiological function in an individual comprising:

  • a sensor, said sensor comprising;

    a stimulator shaped to fit a first anatomical site, said stimulator generating a stimulus whereby application of said stimulus stimulates a nerve at said first anatomical site; and

    a detector shaped to fit a second anatomical site, said detector comprising a plurality of electrodes for detecting a signal generated in response to said stimulus;

    wherein said sensor automatically positions said detector substantially adjacent to said second anatomical site when said stimulator is positioned substantially adjacent to said first anatomical site;

    and further wherein said sensor comprises a processor for processing said at least one signal from said detector to select at least one electrode detecting at least one signal characteristic of said anatomical site.
