1. An automated method for detecting positioning effect in a body using: at least one data processor configured to execute instructions stored on at least one memory, a signal output configured to couple to a stimulating electrode, a signal input configured to couple to a recording electrode, and a data output configured to send processed data to a user interface, the method comprising:
generating, via the signal output, an electrical stimulus;
delivering, via the stimulating electrode, the electrical stimulus to a peripheral nerve in the body;
recording, via the recording electrode, a resultant electrical waveform generated by the body's nervous system in response to the electrical stimulus;
processing, via the at least one data processor, the resultant electrical waveform; and
automatically detecting, via the at least one data processor, a positioning effect at least in part by calculating a moving baseline comprising a plurality of resultant electrical waveforms and comparing the processed resultant electrical waveform to the moving baseline.
