| Abstract: | Evoked responses to monaurally-presented voiced stop consonants (ba, da, ga) were recorded from 18 right-handed adult male subjects. Stimulation of the ear contralateral to the active recording electrode produced significantly larger AERs than did ipsilateral ear stimulation. No significant latency differences were found between contralateral and ipsilateral ear stimulation. “Hemispheric effects” (i.e. differences between right and left sides of the scalp in addition to those produced by ear-pathway effects described above) could not be demonstrated in latency or amplitude characteristics of the AER. |
