Clinical Application of 80-Hz Amplitude Modulation Following Response.

Sources of the scalp-recorded amplitude-modulation following response.

The scalp-recorded amplitude-modulation following response (AMFR) is gaining recognition as an objective audiometric tool, but little is known about the neural sources that underlie this potential. We hypothesized, based on our human studies and single-unit recordings in animals, that the scalp-recorded AMFR reflects the interaction of multiple sources. We tested this hypothesis using an animal...

Ketamine increases the amplitude of the 40-Hz auditory steady-state response in humans.

The auditory middle latency response (AMLR) and the 40-Hz auditory steady-state response (40-Hz ASSR) are evoked potentials which possibly arise from the same generators in the primary auditory cortex. Both responses are attenuated by most general anaesthetics. Ketamine, however, has been reported to have no effect on the AMLR. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of ketamine on the 40-Hz ASSR. ...

Human Envelope Following Responses to Amplitude Modulation: Effects of Aging and Modulation Depth.

OBJECTIVE To record envelope following responses (EFRs) to monaural amplitude-modulated broadband noise carriers in which amplitude modulation (AM) depth was slowly changed over time and to compare these objective electrophysiological measures to subjective behavioral thresholds in young normal hearing and older subjects. DESIGN PARTICIPANTS three groups of subjects included a young normal...

Computation of Earthquake Response via Fourier Amplitude Spectra

A theoretical relation is presented between the seismological Fourier amplitude spectrumand the mean squared value of the elastic response, which is defined by Gaussian distribution. Byshifting a general process to its mean value, spectrum of the mean squared value of the displacementis computed from the Fourier amplitude spectrum and the real part of the relative displacementtransfer function ...
