Evolution of the ASSR amplitude and the RNL during the standard (N), weighted (W) and sorted (S) averaging, when the ASSR is elicited by continuous stimulation.

Traces represents the mean amplitudes of 30 recordings obtained in a representative individual. From left to right, traces in each chart correspond to the evolution of the ASSR amplitude during the sequential averaging procedure, when 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 epochs acquired at the beginning of the recordings were excluded from the averaging. For the sake of clarity, evolutions are represented with different colors (arbitrarily selected).
