MEASURING TRAINING-INDUCED AUDITORY PLASTICITY USING
AUDITORY STEADY-STATERESPONSES
INTRODUCTION
Kluk, K. and B.C. Moore, Dead regions in the cochlea and enhancement of frequency discrimination: Effects of audiogram slope, unilateral versus bilateral loss, and hearing-aid use. Hear Res, 2006. 222(1-2): p. 1-15.
Plasticity - re-mapping of the primary auditory cortex - may be induced by deprivation

EXPERIMENT 3 ASSR Amplitude
CONCLUSIONS
1. It is possible to measure training induced plasticity using ASSRs.
2.When Training using Pure Tones or Frequency Modulated Tones improvement on behavioural task is correlated with increased ASSR amplitude.
3.When training using Amplitude Modulated Tones there is no improvement on behavioural task nor an increase in ASSR amplitude.
CONCLUSIONS 4. The increase of the ASSR amplitude after training
may be caused by the reorganization of the
primary auditory cortex and not by better
synchronization of neural firing.
