In a 2025 study, Karupaiah et al. investigated multichannel auditory late latency responses (ALLR) in misophonia by comparing P1-N1-P2 peak latencies, amplitudes, and scalp topographies between 15 misophonic and 15 control adult females using a 32-channel EEG passive listening paradigm with a non-trigger speech stimulus (/da/). They found significantly earlier P1-N1-P2 latencies and reduced N1 amplitudes in the misophonia group compared to controls. These findings conflict with (Schröder et al., 2014), who did not find any latency differences in misophonics. However, the current authors suggest this may be the result of methodological differences between the two studies, particularly differences in experimental paradigms (passive ALLR vs. oddball task) and Schröder's use of non-speech pure tones compared to the current study's speech sounds (Karupaiah et al., 2025).
