BACKGROUND Testing auditory steady-state responses consists in recording the electrophysiological response to an auditory stimulus. Due to this response, in addition to changes in electric potentials caused by neuron impulses in the auditory path, the sonomotor reflex can also be observed. The sonomotor reflex shows muscle responses to auditory events, and in the case of auditory evoked potenti...

The auditory illusory perception "scale illusion" occurs when a tone of ascending scale is presented in one ear, a tone of descending scale is presented simultaneously in the other ear, and vice versa. Most listeners hear illusory percepts of smooth pitch contours of the higher half of the scale in the right ear and the lower half in the left ear. Little is known about neural processes underlyi...

BACKGROUND The relation between the auditory steady-state response (ASSR) and behavioral audiometric thresholds requires further clarification in the case of adults with auditory neuropathy/auditory dys-synchrony (AN/AD). PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare pure-tone audiometric threshold (PTAT) and ASSR in adults with AN/AD. STUDY SAMPLE Sixteen adult participants (32 ears) with A...

In this paper presents a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique based on the Hill Climbing Search (HCS) method and fuzzy logic system for Wind Turbines (WTs) including of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) as generator. In the conventional HCS method the step size is constant, therefor both steady-state response and dynamic response of method cannot provide at the same time an...

Steady-state magnetic responses to clicks presented at rates between 10 and 70 Hz have been recorded in healthy humans. The responses were highest in amplitude around 40 Hz. This amplitude enhancement is satisfactorily explained by summation of responses evoked by single clicks. The field maps suggest activation of the auditory cortex at all stimulus frequencies. Similar responses were obtained...

Auditory selective attention enables task-relevant auditory events to be enhanced and irrelevant ones suppressed. In the present study we used a frequency tagging paradigm to investigate the effects of attention on auditory steady state responses (ASSR). The ASSR was elicited by simultaneously presenting two different streams of white noise, amplitude modulated at either 16 and 23.5 Hz or 32.5 ...
