Human Auditory Evoked Potentials: Possible Brain Stem Components Detected on the Scalp

Don L. Jewett 1, Michael N. Romano 1, and John S. Williston 1

Auditory potentials recorded from the vertex of humans by a modified averaging technique have very short latencies and are probably generated by brain stem structures located at a considerable distance from the recording point. The evoked waves, which shOW considerable detail and consistency within and across subjects, may be clinically useful in evaluating subcortical function.
