title: Wave III of brain-stem auditory evoked potentials analysed both with 3-channel Lissajous' trajectory and dipole localization method.
abstract: Wave III of the BAEP was analysed both with 3-channel Lissajous' trajectory (3-CLT) and a dipole localization method. The experiments were performed on 5 normally hearing subjects. The dipole analysis used an iterative algorithm assuming a spherical head model and homogeneous media. 3-CLT planar analysis was performed with a laboratory system. The parameters of plane C (azimuth and elevation) corresponding to wave III and those of the equivalent dipole showed a similar orientation of the plane and the dipole. This result is in agreement with previous investigations and confirms the interest of 3-CLT in far-field analysis and, at the same time, validates the dipole localization model used in this study, at least for BAEP analysis.
