Human auditory steady-state evoked potentials during selective attention. 1987

R D Linden, and T W Picton, and G Hamel, and K B Campbell

The human auditory steady-state evoked potentials were examined during several different tasks requiring attention. Both Fourier analysis and signal averaging were used to measure the responses at stimulus rates between 37 and 41/sec. There was no effect of attention on the amplitude and phase of the steady-state evoked potentials when subjects either counted successive increments in stimulus intensity or read a book. In a dichotic listening task, there were clear changes in the late transient evoked potentials with selective attention but no changes in the steady-state responses. Furthermore, the steady-state potentials recorded during reading were not different from those obtained while the subjects were selectively attending to the auditory stimuli in one ear. There is therefore no evidence that the auditory steady-state responses are affected by attention.

D005583 Fourier Analysis Analysis based on the mathematical function first formulated by Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier in 1807. The function, known as the Fourier transform, describes the sinusoidal pattern of any fluctuating pattern in the physical world in terms of its amplitude and its phase. It has broad applications in biomedicine, e.g., analysis of the x-ray crystallography data pivotal in identifying the double helical nature of DNA and in analysis of other molecules, including viruses, and the modified back-projection algorithm universally used in computerized tomography imaging, etc. (From Segen, The Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992) Fourier Series,Fourier Transform,Analysis, Cyclic,Analysis, Fourier,Cyclic Analysis,Analyses, Cyclic,Cyclic Analyses,Series, Fourier,Transform, Fourier
