Abstract

A test click (TC) of 2 msec duration, 60 dB above the threshold, paired with a preceding conditioning light (CL), 0.003 mL intensity, either of 1500 msec duration (Session I) or 20 μsec flash (Session II), was delivered to human Ss. An ISI of the CL-TC pair varied from 200 to 900 msec. The facilitatory interaction of the CL on the recovery of the auditory evoked potential for the TC was found to occur at 400 msec ISI in Session I as well as in Session II though the CL duration in the 2 sessions were different.
