Dynamic Changes in Steady-State Responses

  • Conference paper
Dynamics of Sensory and Cognitive Processing by the Brain

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Brain Dynamics ((SSBD,volume 1))

Abstract

The research we report here began in 1980 when we rediscovered the so-called steady-state auditory evoked responses (SSRs) described some 20 years earlier (Chatrian et al. 1960; Geisler 1960; Galambos et al. 1981). Figure 1 shows such SSRs after their extraction by computer averaging from the scalp EEG of an adult who was receiving clicks monaurally through an earphone. Time-locked brain potentials appear at each rate (nominally 10/s in the top panel, 20 in the middle, and 40 in the bottom); at the 40-Hz rate, the individual response averages resemble single sine waves.
