Studies of auditory evoked magnetic and electric responses: Modality specificity and modelling

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

The sources of auditory evoked electric and magnetic responses were modelled with multiple current dipoles. The activity at the auditory cortices, 2.6 cm beneath the skull, explains the observed\(\overline {N100m}\) field distribution. An additional current source near the vertex is needed to explain the corresponding potential distributions. The locations of the current sources of\(\overline {N100m}\) did not show any systematic dependence on the tonal frequency.

Riassunto

Le sorgenti di risposte uditive magnetiche ed electtriche stimolate sono state formate con dipoli a corrente multipli. L’attività a livello delle cortecce uditive, 2.6 cm al di sotto della calotta cranica, spiega la distribuzione di campo osservata\(\overline {N100m}\). Un’ulteriore sorgente di corrente vicino al vertice è necessaria per spiegare le corrispondenti distribuzioni di potenziale. La posizione delle sorgenti di corrente di\(\overline {N100m}\) non ha mostrato alcuna dipendenza sistematica dalla frequenza tonale.
