Abstract
A new technique which we have named 'isochronic mapping' is described. The conventional technique of plotting isopotential maps shows little or no contrast for far-field potentials such as the auditory brainstem response (ABR). However, by modifications to the mapping software, the latency values of a peak can be plotted and lines of equal time or isochronic maps can be produced. Data from a normal subject has been obtained for both the compound and derived ABRs and are described in detail. The data are clear but the time delays between earliest and latest projections of a peak are hard to interpret. For monaural click stimulation, wave JV of the ABR projects first to the contralateral side of the head then moves towards the stimulated ear arriving some 0.3 ms later. Possible interpretations of this finding are discussed but further experimentation is needed to develop our understanding of these data.
