Abstract
The view that the effects of stimulus rise time are qualitatively different for early brain stem components, middle latency components and late vertex components of the auditory-evoked responses was reexamined. The amplitudes and latencies of the brain stem response (Jewett's wave V), middle latency components Na and Pa, and vertex potentials P1 N1 and P2, evoked by tone bursts of various rise times, were analyzed. Increases in rise time were associated with smaller peak amplitudes and longer peak latencies for all of the components measured. These effects were comparable in magnitude for all of the components. The results are interpreted in terms of a delayed and less synchronized neural discharge from the cochlea as rise time is extended. Cherchant à vérifier les différents changements qualitatifs que peut entraiˇner une modification du temps de montée du stimulus sur les composants des potentiels rapides, moyens ou lents du vertex, nous avons noté les amplitudes et les latences de l'onde V (BSR), de Na et Pa (réponses moyennes) et de P1, N1 et P2 (réponses lentes en réponse à des tone-burst. Pour tous les composants notés et d'une façon comparable, l'accorissement du temps de montée entraiˇne une diminution de l'amplitude et un allongement du temps de latence. Ce fait peut ětre interpretété comme étant le résultat d'un retard et d'une désynchronisation dans les décharges au niveau de la coclée, lorsque le temps de montée du stimulus est augmenté.Keywords
