Factors that affect the amplitudes and latencies of the vertex short latency acoustic responses in the cat.

The latencies and amplitude of the short latency (less than 10 msec) acoustic evoked responses recorded from the vertex of the cat have been studied as a function of acoustic stimulus parameters. A change in the stimulus intensity, duration, or rate of repetition resulted in parallel changes in the first 5 evoked responses, i.e., the latencies shifted the same amount and the amplitudes were modified in the same proportion. Comparison of responses to monaural versus binaural stimuli indicated an occlusive effect of binaural stimulation only in potential 4.
