We propose a method to analyse the N100/P200 structure observed in auditory evoked magnetic fields. Based in linear cable theory for passive dendritic conduction we assume an expression for the time-course of the equivalent current dipole moment and show that good agreement can be obtained with experimental results. The analysis leads to realistic values for the membrane time constant (approximately 30 ms) and the reduced dendritic length (approximately 2).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
