Electroretinogram and visual evoked response in a form of 'neuronal lipidosis' with diagnostic EEG features.

چکیده
Combined recordings of the electroretinogram (ERG) and the cortical visual evoked response (VER) have been made together with the electroencephalogram (EEG) in 16 children suffering from a `late infantile' form of `neuronal lipidosis'. The ERG was not usually recordable, in keeping with a gross loss of function of the retinal receptor elements. However, in all the 16 children, at whatever stage of the disease, a grossly enlarged VER was seen (some 12 to 20 times higher in amplitude than in a control group) and visible as a discharge on the primary EEG tracing. The first components of the VER were, however, of fairly similar wave form and latency to those seen in the control children. This unusual combination of ERG and VER findings together with the EEG features have not been found in other groups of diseases.

The objective of this study is development of driver’s sleepiness using Visually Evoked Potentials (VEP). VEP computed from EEG signals from the visual cortex. We use the Steady State VEPs (SSVEPs) that are one of the most important EEG signals used in human computer interface systems. SSVEP is a response to visual stimuli presented. We present a classification method to discriminate between...

Background: Alzheimer dementia as the most common cause of dementia is a chronic, progressive, irreversible and incurable disease. The second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer is vascular dementia. One of the systems involved in dementia is the visuospatial system and visual evoked potential (VEP) can be one of the diagnostic methods for this disease. Therefore, the present study ai...
