Field analysis of auditory evoked brainstem potentials.

Surface distribution maps of auditory evoked brainstem potentials (AEBPs) are presented for time instants corresponding to the waves of major interest (I, III and V) in humans. Maps are shown to be fully consistent with the results of two approaches that have been recently proposed for the analysis of AEBPs, namely dipole localization methods and three-channel Lissajous trajectories, thus confirming the technical feasibility of methods for extracting information on the sources of AEBPs from surface data.
