Objective detection of brainstem auditory evoked potentials with a priori information from higher presentation levels

This paper describes a brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) detection method based on supervised pattern recognition. A previously used pattern recognition technique relying on cross-correlation with a template was modified in order to include a priori information allowing detection accuracy. Reference is made to the patient’s audiogram and to the latency–intensity (LI) curve with respect to physiological mechanisms. Flexible and...
