Evoked activity is brain activity that is the result of a task, sensory input or motor output.[1] It is opposed to spontaneous brain activity during the absence of any explicit task.[2]
Most experimental studies in neuroscience investigate brain functioning by administering a task or stimulus and measure the resulting changes in neuronal activity and behavior. In electroencephalography (EEG) research, evoked activity or evoked responses specifically refers to activity that is phase-locked to the stimulus onset and is opposed to induced activity, which is a stimulus-related change in (the amplitude of) oscillatory activity.[1]

Sensory stimulation generates electrical potentials in the brain which are termed evoked potentials (when picked up with EEG); the MEG recordings of the magnetic counterparts are termed evoked fields. Amplitudes of EPs/fields are usually too small to be detected in a single trial; therefore, EEG/MEG recordings are time-locked to a task/stimulation and averaged thereafter... In addition to the "evoked potential," sensory stimulation is also accompanied by oscillatory activity that either can be described as evoked or induced oscillations

Spontaneous activity refers to the firing of neurons in the absence of sensory input. This non-evoked or stimulus-independent activity represents a fundamental property of nervous systems.
