Human auditory evoked potentials: reliability of intensity functions

C P Browman, H T Sullivan

    Brain Research Bulletin
    |March 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study found that human auditory evoked potential (AEP) amplitude and latency functions are reliable across sessions. Individual N1-P2 amplitude functions were also reliable, unlike other individual measures.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Auditory Neuroscience
    • Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) are crucial for assessing auditory pathway function.
    • Understanding the reliability of AEP amplitude-intensity and latency-intensity functions is vital for clinical and research applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the test-retest reliability of human auditory evoked potential (AEP) amplitude-intensity and latency-intensity functions.
    • To compare the reliability of group versus individual AEP function measures.

    Main Methods:

    • Averaged AEP waveforms were recorded from bipolar electrodes across 10 stimulus intensity levels.
    • Statistical analyses assessed variability and slope consistency of group and individual functions across sessions.

    Main Results:

    • Group amplitude-intensity and latency-intensity functions demonstrated consistent variability and slope.
    • Individual N1-P2 amplitude-intensity functions showed high reliability.
    • Individual P2-N2 amplitude and latency measures exhibited greater variability.

    Conclusions:

    • Human AEP amplitude-intensity and latency-intensity functions are reliable, particularly at the group level.
    • Individual AEP measures, especially N1-P2 amplitude, are also reliable, supporting their use in auditory assessments.
    • Systematic intersession variations in AEP amplitude and latency correlate with stimulus intensity.
