Text

The standard auditory oddball paradigm was performed with a stimulus sequence in which the target tone was 2000 Hz with a probability of 20% and the non-target tone was 1000 Hz with a probability of 80%. Both stimuli were delivered binaurally by a sound simulator for a duration of 100 ms, rise/fall time of 10 ms, intensity of 80 dB SPL, and constant ISI (interstimulus interval) of 2.3 s. Subjects were asked to silently count the number of target stimuli. Three sessions were recorded, each consisting of about 20 target stimuli. Short breaks were given to the subjects between sessions but without allowing head movement. All subjects detected more than 90% of the stimuli.
