abstract：:By means of magnetoencephalography we investigated the auditory-evoked fields (AEFs) elicited by broadband noise bursts in a gap-detection paradigm in children. AEFs of 16 healthy children (mean age 8.7 years) were recorded while they passively listened to 100-ms white-noise bursts with temporal gaps of 3, 6, 10 and 3...
