Abstract
PREVIOUS studies using magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings have r evealed neuronal populations responding to discrete auditory stimuli i n the supratemporal cortex of the human brain. We used the novel whole -head magnetometer (Neuromag-122) to determine whether regions outside the auditory cortex are activated by auditory stimulation as well. In the present study we report evidence for activation of the parietal c ortex of the human brain in response to auditory stimuli.
