TLDR
The amplitude of the human cortical evoked response increases in amplitude with increasing intensity of auditory stimulation, however, at intensities above 70 dB ISO, there is a decline in this relationship.Abstract:
The amplitude of the human cortical evoked response increases in amplitude with increasing intensity of auditory stimulation. At intensities above 70 dB ISO, however, there is a decline in this relationship. This effect was examined in conjunction with stapedius reflexes and other factors in an attempt to determine its cause. The most probable explanation seems to involve the central descending auditory system.read more

The N1 wave of the human electric and magnetic response to sound: a review and an analysis of the component structure
Risto Näätänen,Terence W. Picton +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that at least six different cerebral processes can contribute to the Nl wave of the human auditory evoked potential, and that they often last much longer than the true N1 components that they overlap.

A review of the evidence for P2 being an independent component process: age, sleep and modality.
TL;DR: The evidence supportive of P2 being the result of independent processes is described and several features, such as its persistence from wakefulness into sleep, the general consensus that unlike most other EEG phenomena it increases with age, and the fact that it can be generated using respiratory stimuli are highlighted.

Mismatch negativity (MMN), the deviance-elicited auditory deflection, explained
Patrick J. C. May,Hannu Tiitinen +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the MMN is, in essence, a latency- and amplitude-modulated expression of the auditory N1 response, generated by fresh-afferent activity of cortical neurons that are under nonuniform levels of adaptation.

Auditory processing that leads to conscious perception: A unique window to central auditory processing opened by the mismatch negativity and related responses
TL;DR: This revised model is mainly based on the mismatch negativity (MMN) and N1 indices of automatic processing, the processing negativity (PN) index of selective attention, and their magnetoencephalographic and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) equivalents.

Long-latency evoked potentials to irrelevant, deviant stimuli.
Elaine Snyder,Steven A. Hillyard +1 more
TL;DR: N2-P3a is not simply a delayed N1-P2 “vertex potential”, but rather reflects the operation of a “mismatch” detector, which registers deviations from an ongoing auditory background.

Discharge Patterns of Single Fibers in the Cat's Auditory Nerve
TL;DR: In this paper, the discharge patterns of single fibers in cat auditory nerve in response to controlled acoustic stimuli were investigated and shown to be similar to those of human auditory nerve, and they were shown to respond to controlled stimuli.

Acoustic Relations of the Human Vertex Potential
Hallowell Davis,Stanley Zerlin +1 more
TL;DR: The average amplitude of the slow, diffuse, nonspecific electrical response of the human cortex, called the V potential, evoked by tone pips or by tactile stimuli to thumb and forefinger, follows a power law with exponent about 0.24.
