PURPOSE To use functional MR imaging to measure the effect of frequency (pitch), intensity
(loudness), and complexity of auditory stimuli on activation in the primary and secondary …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the activation patterns of the primary
auditory cortex in response to varying intensities of pure tone stimuli. Method A 1,000-Hz …

Abstract fMRI of human auditory cortex response to sinusoidal tones of 200, 1000, and 3000
Hz was evaluated using block design and conventional and “silent” event‐related designs …

Averaged single trials (AST) allowed the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
response to auditory stimuli to be measured at high temporal (1 s) and spatial (0.1 cm3) …

Objectives The aims of this study were to determine the feasibility of obtaining auditory
cortex activation evoked by pure tones presented at threshold and suprathreshold hearing …

Activations in the temporal lobes previously observed using positron emission tomography
and auditory stimuli were partially reproduced with functional MRI and echo-planar imaging …

Objectives Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used to investigate
activation of the auditory cortex; however, assessment of activation in the subcortical …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive method for the detection of focal
brain activity at high spatial resolution. Acoustic stimulation leads to a blood oxygenation …

Understanding the impact of variations in the acoustic signal is critical for the development of
auditory and language fMRI as an experimental tool. We describe the dependence of the …

Bernal and Altman pathways is well established [15, 16](Fig. 1). Input to the brainstem
comes through the cochlear branch of cranial nerve VIII. The first synapse is the cochlear …
