Cortical activation in response to two types of auditory stimuli, constant-frequency tones and frequency glides, was studied by measuring the magnetic field outside the head using a whole-head 122-channel magnetometer. Both the magnetic N1m and sustained responses were located in the supratemporal plane of the primary auditory cortex. The sustained responses both to constant-frequency tones and frequency glides reflect tonotopic organization of the auditory cortex both in depth and direction, thus revealing the underlying neuroanatomical structure of the auditory cortex.

D004585 Electrooculography Recording of the average amplitude of the resting potential arising between the cornea and the retina in light and dark adaptation as the eyes turn a standard distance to the right and the left. The increase in potential with light adaptation is used to evaluate the condition of the retinal pigment epithelium. EOG,Electrooculograms,Electrooculogram

D015225 Magnetoencephalography The measurement of magnetic fields over the head generated by electric currents in the brain. As in any electrical conductor, electric fields in the brain are accompanied by orthogonal magnetic fields. The measurement of these fields provides information about the localization of brain activity which is complementary to that provided by ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY. Magnetoencephalography may be used alone or together with electroencephalography, for measurement of spontaneous or evoked activity, and for research or clinical purposes. Magnetoencephalogram,Magnetoencephalograms
