Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) are bioelectric responses that occur from acoustic stimulations, and they assess the functionality of the central auditory system. The objective of the present study was to analyze the effect of musical stimulation on CAEPs. The sample consisted of 42 healthy female subjects, aged between 18 and 24 years, divided into two groups - G1: without musical stimulation prior to the CAEP examination; and G2: with stimulation prior to the examination.

Heart rate variability (HRV) provides information about heart rate autonomic regulation. We investigated the association between resting HRV and CAEP.

Methods: Initially, 89 students from the pedagogy course answered a questionnaire about self-perceived voice quality and vocal complaints. In a second phase, auditory-perceptual evaluation and acoustic analyses of 48 participants were made through voice recordings of sustained vowel emission and poem reading.
Background: This study was conducted to describe the association between central auditory processing mechanism and the cardiac autonomic regulation.
Methods: IT WAS RESEARCHED PAPERS ON THE TOPIC ADDRESSED IN THIS STUDY CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING DATA BASES: Medline, Pubmed, Lilacs, Scopus and Cochrane. The key words were: "auditory stimulation, heart rate, autonomic nervous system and P300".
