The influence of stimulus intensity, contralateral masking and handedness on the temporal N1 and the T complex components of the auditory N1 wave

Components of the auditory N1 wave were recorded to confirm previous findings of contralateral dominance of the negative component (Tb) of the T complex and to examine the differential sensitivity of N1 components to stimulus intensity, contralateral masking and handedness. EEG was recorded from Cz, T3, T4, T5, T6, and at points midway between C3 and T3 and C4 and T4 using a non-cephalic (S-V) reference. Stimuli of 70 and 90 dB SL were …
