A multi-channel EEG mini-cap can improve reliability for recording auditory brainstem responses in chinchillas.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Disabling hearing loss affects nearly 466 million people worldwide (World Health Organization). The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is the most common non-invasive clinical measure of evoked potentials, e.g., as an objective measure for universal newborn hearing screening. In research, the ABR is widely used for estimating hearing thresholds and cochlear synaptopathy in animal models of hearing loss. The ABR contains multiple waves representing neural activity across different peripheral auditory pathway stages, which arise within the first 10 ms after stimulus onset. Multi-channel (e.g., 32 or higher) caps provide robust measures for a wide variety of EEG applications for the study of human hearing. However, translational studies using preclinical animal models typica
