Auditory evoked field


Binaural stimulation by 1kHz tone burst. Interstimulus interval was 2.5 second and about 100 trials were averaged.

Waveforms of auditory evoked field



MEG waveforms from -50 to 500 msec are overlaied to the sensor array. Waveforms of planar type gradiometers are shown in blue, and those of magnetometers are shown in green.

With left temporal channles, a single dipole estmation was undertaken, and overlaid to MRI. The subject was the author. It is not known exactly why dipoles estimated from the left auditory response always locate not near Heschl's transverse gyrus or planum temporale, but in more caudal temporal lobe.



With right temporal channles, a single dipole estimation was undertaken, and ovalaid to MRI. The dipole is estimated at planum temporale.
