Considerations of the sources of the human brainstem auditory evoked potential on the basis of bilateral asymmetry of its parameters.
Possible sources of individual components of the human brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) were previously considered proceeding from the bilateral asymmetry of their parameters, the latter being determined with the centro-periaural electrode position. It is proved that such considerations are misleading: with more adequate derivation paradigm, i.e. with extracephalic placement of the reference electrode, the bilateral asymmetry of BAEP parameters has mainly the opposite sign.
