Estimating multiple latencies in the auditory system from auditory steady-state responses on a single EEG channel
Abstract The latency of the auditory steady-state response (ASSR) may provide valuable information regarding the integrity of the auditory system, as it could potentially reveal the presence of multiple intracerebral sources. To estimate multiple latencies from high-order ASSRs, we propose a novel t...
