“…Performance on behavioural tests of auditory processing is affected by factors such as task learning and motivation level. There is increasing evidence that auditory evoked potentials can be used as an objective, non-invasive tool to investigate auditory processing and plasticity of auditory function in humans [Eggermont et al, 1997;Jordan et al, 1997;Kaga et al, 1991;Kraus, 1999;Kraus et al, 1995Kraus et al, , 1998aMenning et al, 2000;Ponton et al, 1996aPonton et al, , b, 1999Ponton et al, , 2000aTremblay et al, 1997Tremblay et al, , 1998Tremblay et al, , 2001. Results from electroencephalographic evoked potential studies are consistent with magnetoencephalographic evidence for auditory plasticity in human listeners [Pantev et al, 1999[Pantev et al, , 2001Pantev and Lutkenhorner, 2000].…”
