An evoked potential measuring apparatus by which an evoked potential which reflects a variation in internal condition of a human being such as a feeling of strain, a feeling of irritation or a feeling of stress can be measured in a high quality with a high degree of reliability. The apparatus comprises a sensory stimulus application section, an evoked potential measurement section for measuring and amplifying an evoked brain potential, an evoked potential recording control section for controlling recording of a brain potential signal, an evoked potential recording section for recording the brain potential signal, an internal condition estimating physiological measure measurement section for measuring a physiological measure, a physiological measure signal recording control section for controlling recording of a physiological measure signal, a physiological measure signal recording section for recording the physiological measure signal, an internal condition estimation section for estimating the internal condition of the subject using the physiological measure signal, an evoked potential adding and averaging section for adding and averaging the brain potential signal in accordance with the internal condition of the subject to obtain an evoked potential, an evoked potential adoption determination section for estimating a quality of the evoked potential to determine whether or not the evoked potential may be adopted, and an evoked potential measurement procedure control section.
