The ITC magnitude derived from the 40Hz ASSR is presented. ASSR is measured following a short stream of click trains with a 500 msec inter-train interval (duration), at standard tone and at 40Hz tone. The magnitude of ITC represents the phase consistency of oscillatory activities, in response to EEG coherence at 40Hz stimulation. ITC as a unit of measure is expressed as frequency (40Hz) vs time (msec).
