Summary
The magnetic equivalents of SN10, Po, Na, Pa, Nb and Pb (SN10m, Pom, Nam, Pam, Nbm and Pbm) in short and middle latency auditory evoked potentials were measured with a 7-channel DC superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The sources of Pom, Nam, Pam, Nbm and Pbm responses were estimated to be located in the auditory cortex, while the source of SN10m was considered to be in a deeper part of the brain. In addition, the source of Pam was estimated to be in the vicinity of the moving N100m source. The source of Pbm was considered to be in a separate area, anterior to the source of Pam and N100m, which suggested that the source of Pam was located in the primary auditory cortex, while the source of Pbm was located in the secondary auditory cortex. The source of N100m was considered to spread from the primary auditory cortex to the secondary auditory cortex.
