Neuromagnetic Responses from a Deaf Subject to Stimuli Presented through a Multichannel Cochlear Prosthesis*

Abstract
Neuromagnetic responses to stimuli presented through a 4-channel cochlear prosthesis were recorded from a deaf subject. The topography of the responses agreed with activation of the supratemporal auditory cortex. The responses to tone pips, noise/square-wave sequences, and to intermittent frequency modulation of a continuous tone resembled those obtained from subjects with normal hearing, being consistent with the good performance of this subject with his implant.
