The scalp distributions of human auditory evoked potentials (AEP) between 20-250 ms were investigated using noncephalic reference recordings. AEP to binaural click stimuli were recorded simultaneously from 20 scalp locations over the right hemisphere in 11 subjects. Computer-generated isovoltage topographic maps at high temporal resolution were used to assess the stability of AEP scalp distributions over time and relate them to major peaks in the AEP wave forms. For potentials from 20-60 ms, the results show a stable scalp distribution of dipolar form that is consistent with sources in primary auditory cortex on the superior temporal plane near the temporoparietal junction. For potentials from 60-250 ms, the results show changes in AEP morphology across electrode locations and changes in scalp distribution over time that lead to 2 major conclusions. First, AEP in this latency period are generated by multiple sources which partially overlap in time. Second, one or more regions of auditory cortex contribute significantly to AEP in this period. Additional data are needed to determine the relative contribution of auditory cortex sources on the superior temporal plane and the lateral temporal surface and to identify AEP sources outside the temporal lobe.
