Abstract

In some auditory evoked potential (AEP) examinations, high rate stimulation paradigms deliver more stimuli with the same period of time, which might lead to overlapping responses. At present, several established techniques can be proposed to address such problem, thus the research scope in both scientific and clinical applications is expanded. In this study, the restoring efficiency of evoked responses is investigated using a simulation strategy. We examined the AEPs derived from three paradigms--conventional ensemble averaging, continuous loop averaging deconvolution (CLAD) and maximum length sequence (MLS). Their performances were evaluated by correlation coefficients and Euclidean distances between ideal and the derived responses. We found that MLS can only slightly enhance the performance at the cost of larger stimulus jitter and much more stimulus numbers; while CLAD method with lower jittering even degenerates the quality, suggesting that, in practical use, the recording efficiency will not be significantly improved by simply using high rate stimulation with overlapping responses introduced.
