The temporal component of the auditory evoked potential: a reinterpretation.
The auditory evoked potentials in man cannot be explained by a single source even though a strong influence of the primary areas in the supra-temporal plane has been pointed out in different works. In 26 normal adults we mathematically extracted the greater part of the experimental AEPs explicable by such an origin. The residual part obtained by subtracting this first component from the experimental data is in agreement with an origin in the precentral motor cortex.
