✦ Synopsis

With 12 figures

Every electroencephalographer who has used flicker stimulation in man has noticed the variability of response of any given subject even when the light stimulus is controlled for frequency, intensity and light-dark ratio.

The variation one finds, if one studies normal subjects, can be of many kinds. From the unanalysed EEG trace, four of these may be roughly categorized under the following headings:

--Variability in amplitude of evoked flicker response.

--

Variability in appearance of harmonics and subharmonics. --Variability in delay before phase-locked response begins. --Gradual decay of phase-locked response as flicker is continued.

Sixty-three cells in the superior temporal gyrus of awake squirrel monkeys were tested with 8 species-specific vocalizations plus noise, clicks and tones. Identical series of stimuli were repeatedly presented over 1-5 hour intervals. The responses elicited by both vocalizations and artificial stimul
