Clinical Use of Aided Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials as a Measure of Physiological Detection or Physiological Discrimination

Table 1

Outline of the experimental conditions used in the studies cited in Figure 1. Note that the parameters listed below are specific to the conditions used to generate the waveform data presented in Figure 1 and do not necessarily represent all conditions presented in each study. The eight studies included represent aided CAEP data in the literature for which unaided and aided waveforms were able to be reproduced.
