Tinnitus intensity dependent gamma oscillations of the contralateral auditory cortex.

<h4>Background</h4>Non-pulsatile tinnitus is considered a subjective auditory phantom phenomenon present in 10 to 15% of the population. Tinnitus as a phantom phenomenon is related to hyperactivity and reorganization of the auditory cortex. Magnetoencephalography studies demonstrate a co...
