Evaluating Strategies for Improving the Detection of Auditory Steady-State Responses in the AUDIX System

Abstract

A preliminary comparison was carried out among three novel strategies for automatic detection of ASSR versus the current alternatives implemented in AUDIX system. Two of the proposed strategies were faster in detecting the response and they did it robustly in the majority of the data set, even in subjects where current alternatives failed. This work provides evidence that improvements can still be done in the detection of ASSR by using appropriate statistical assumptions and averaging procedures.
