The invention relates to a method to design and generate frequency-specific electrical or acoustical stimuli for the recording of auditory steady-state responses, ASSR, from human individuals, where the stimuli are generated as a combination of a series of three or more spectral components (i.e. pure tones), each having a specified frequency, amplitude and phase and where the frequency difference between the successive pure tones in the series preferably is constant=fs. The invention further relates to a device for detection of ASSR and to a software program for use in such device.
