Tone-pips, centered at 1,000 Hz, were used to elicit middle component averaged electroencephalic responses (AERs) (8 to 90 ms) from five normal neonates. The stimuli were presented monaurally at 10-, 30-, and 50-dB HL, with regard to adult behavioral thresholds. Averaged electroencephalic responses were also derived for no-stimulus control conditions. The initial portion of the stimulus-elicited AER waveforms was similar to that obtained from adults. An objective, scoring procedure, based on predetermined rules, was used to determine peak latencies and to quantify point-to-point amplitudes. Inspection of the scored data revealed that latencies decreased and amplitudes increased as the stimulus magnitude increased, as has also been reported for adults. Unlike adult responses, the middle components from the neonates in this study were identifiable only when recorded from the side of the head ipsilateral to the ear stimulated.
以1000赫兹为中心的短纯音被用于从五名正常新生儿中引出平均脑电图反应（AERs）（8至90毫秒）的中间成分。根据成人行为阈值，刺激以10分贝、30分贝和50分贝听力级单耳呈现。对于无刺激对照条件也得出了平均脑电图反应。刺激诱发的AER波形的初始部分与从成人获得的相似。基于预定规则的客观评分程序被用于确定峰值潜伏期并量化逐点振幅。对评分数据的检查显示，随着刺激强度的增加，潜伏期缩短，振幅增加，这在成人中也有报道。与成人反应不同，本研究中新生儿的中间成分只有在从受刺激耳朵同侧的头部一侧记录时才能识别。
