Modeling auditory evoked brainstem responses to transient stimuli

There is a trend in the hearing community for using more complex speech-like stimuli to record auditory evoked potentials. Most studies don’t consider how the nonlinearities in the auditory system will affect and alter these potentials, leading to erroneous interpretations. We created a nonlinear model for the generation of auditory evoked potentials so that we could evaluate and better understand them. This model was included in the auditory modelling toolbox (Søndergård and Majdek, 2013 dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-37762-4_2), making it freely available to the community. Verhulst et al. (2013) dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.4800566 made use of the model to explore how hearing impairment alters evoked potentials.
