TL;DR
A difference was found in the dipole locations in the horizontal plane for the speech stimuli of a vowel /a/ and a consonant-vowel /ka/.
Abstract
Neuromagnetic responses in the human auditory cortex evoked by various burst stimuli of pure tones and monosyllable speech sounds were measured separately from two hemispheres. Both the pure tones and speech sounds elicited clear responses with two main peaks. The field patterns over the scalp at the peak latencies indicated a single current dipole as an equivalent field generator. The depth of the current dipoles computed from the mapped field data was deeper from the scalp for a tone stimulus of higher frequency, which confirms the tonotopic organization in the auditory cortex. A difference was found in the dipole locations in the horizontal plane for the speech stimuli of a vowel and a consonant-vowel /a/ and a consonant-vowel /ka/. It suggests the sensitivity of the magnetic responses to the acoustic structure of the speech sound.

P Pitch deviance in a sequence of repetitive tone pips elicited magnetic evoked-response changes with a topography suggesting that a neuronal mismatch process to the deviant tones activates the primary auditory cortex.

The distributions of the magnetic fields indicate that the auditory evoked transient response at a latency of 100 ms as well as the auditory sustained response are generated at and around the primary auditory cortex.

The tonotopic organization of the human auditory cortex has been investigated by systematic measurements of magnetic fields evoked by tone-bursts with carrier frequencies of 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz and suggest that the equivalent current dipoles of both the 100m and the 160m component are located in the transverse temporal gyri.

It is concluded that the cortical auditory region of man may be subdivided in two major areas: an area on the supratemporal plane representing the primary auditory area or A1 and a region surrounding A1 which perhaps comprises two areas, one on the superior temporal gyrus and the upper bank of the sylvian fissure including frontal and parietal operculi.

St striking similarities were found between the 100-ms deflections of the on- and off-responses: both peaked at about the same latency; their estimated sources were closed to each other in the supratemporal plane and their amplitudes depended in a similar way on the interstimulus interval.

By fitting the gradient of computer simulated fields to those measured outside the cranium, the accuracy of source localization was substantially improved and the greatest distortion of the extracranial magnetic field was an inequality in the measured amplitude of the two extrema.

The results indicate that a particular acoustic feature of speech, vowel onset after voice-less fricative consonants, evokes a prominent response in the human supratemporal auditory cortex, which might reflect feature detection essential for further speech processing.
