The amplitudes of auditory evoked N1 m responses are known to depend on the length of the pre‐stimulus silent interval. However, it remains unknown whether pre‐penultimate silent intervals affect the auditory evoked responses elicited by test stimuli. In the present study, we investigated the N1 m responses elicited by a train of four successive tones with a silent interval of 1 s subsequent to that with a 0.25‐, 0.5‐, 2‐ or 4‐s silent interval using magnetoencephalography. The results obtained demonstrated that the N1 m source strength decreased as the pre‐penultimate silent interval became shorter. A history of silences had a significant impact on the N1 m source strength. Human brain activity that is modulated by silence history may play an important role in encoding a series of sound streams that include silences, such as speech and music.
