SOUND CORRELATED D-C CHANGES AT INTACT HEAD OF HUMAN SUBJECTS

Sound evoked d-c changes (RGA = Reizkorrelierte Gleichspannungs-Antwort) were recorded with AgCl-electrodes from the intact heads of grown up human subjects and analysed with a LINC-8 Computer. The RGA were maintained during the whole duration of stimulus. They are largest at the Vertex and depend on stimulus intensity. The intensity function (relation between RGA amplitude and stimulus intensity) has been investigated and is characterised by the rising coefficient of the approximation line in dependence of the time of analysis (time of analysis starts with the beginning of the stimulus) with respect to the correlation between the approximating line and the measured data. © 1969 Springer-Verlag.
