Offset auditory responses were investigated by electroencephalography mainly in the 1970s, but since then no particular attention has been paid to them. Among the studies using magnetoencephalography (MEG) devices there are, to our knowledge, only three studies of the auditory off-response, and no significant variance has ever been observed between the source locations of on- and off-responses elicited from pure tones. We measured auditory evoked magnetic fields (AEFs) to various frequency pure tone stimulation in 5 healthy subjects with a 122-channel helmet-shaped magnetometer, and compared the distributions of the source locations of auditory N100m-Off (magnetic off-response around 100 ms) with those of N100m-On. Their spatial distributions were quite close to each other, and yet they were significantly different.

Purpose: Variations in neural survival along the cochlear implant electrode array leads to off-place listening, resulting in poorer speech understanding outcomes for recipients. Therefore, it is important to develop and compare clinically viable tests to identify these patient-specific intra-cochlear neural differences.

Methods: Nineteen experienced cochlear implant recipients (9 males and 10 females) were recruited for this study.

The optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) based magnetoencephalography (MEG) system offers advantages such as flexible layout and wearability. However, the position instability or jitter of OPM sensors can result in bad channels and segments, which significantly impede subsequent preprocessing and analysis. Most common methods directly reject or interpolate to repair these bad channels and segments.

Background: The integration of advanced technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) into surgical procedures has garnered significant attention. However, the introduction of these innovations requires thorough evaluation in the context of human-machine interaction. Despite their potential benefits, new technologies can complicate surgical tasks and increase the cognitive load on surgeons, potentially offsetting their intended advantages.

: Before a cochlear implant is considered, patients undergo various audiological tests to assess their suitability. One key test measures the auditory brainstem response (ABR) to acoustic stimuli. However, in some cases, even with maximum sound stimulation, no response is detected.
