Abstract
Amplitude decrease of cortical responses after repeated stimuli ('habituation') is a well-known phenomenon, the functional meaning of which is to prevent sensory overflow and to save resources for meaningful and novel stimuli. It is known that the primary low-frequency N20 somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) undergoes habituation in healthy subjects. By contrast, the presence of this phenomenon has never been tested in High Frequency Oscillations (HFOs), which probably reflect the activity of a somatosensory arousal system.
