A System to Generate Patient-Specific Stimuli for use with the Auditory Brainstem Response Test
The short-pulsed "click" stimuli most commonly used to evoke an auditory brainstem response (ABR) do not account for temporal shifts along the basilar membrane and do not produce ABRs of maximal amplitude. This paper describes a system that maps these temporal shifts and generates patient-specific stimuli to compensate. This is of interest both to enhance the ABR and as a potential way to map the physiology of the basilar membrane.
