Morphology of transient VEPs to luminance and chromatic pattern onset and offset
نویسندگان
چکیده
Characteristics of the visual evoked response to chromatic and luminance-modulated stimuli reflect the activity of underlying neural mechanisms, although selective neuronal activity depends upon stimulus parameters. In the present study, the behaviour of the transient visual evoked response to low spatial and temporal frequency chromatic stimuli is investigated at a range of colour luminance ratios. Our results show that the response to pattern-offset may be used in addition to the pattern-onset response as part of the signature of the evoked response to luminance-modulated or isoluminant chromatic stimuli.

Topography of the chromatic pattern-onset VEP.
The chromatic pattern-onset VEP has been used successfully as a sensitive and objective technique to determine congenital and acquired color vision deficiency. It also has been applied to characterize development, maturation and aging of the chromatic visual pathways. Here we determine the topographic components of the full-field VEP using the multifocal technique. Recordings were made with the...
متن کاملTransient VEP and psychophysical chromatic contrast thresholds in children and adults
It has been found that humans are able to distinguish colours without luminance cues by about 2-4 months of age and that sensitivity to colour difference develops during childhood, reaching a peak around adolescence. This prolonged period of maturation is reflected by improvements in psychophysical threshold measures and by the VEP characteristics of morphology, latency and amplitude. An intra-...
متن کاملThe influence of pattern size on amplitude, latency and wave form of retinal and cortical potentials elicited by checkerboard pattern reversal and stimulus onset-offset.
Transient pattern electroretinograms (PERGs) and visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were recorded with checkerboard pattern reversal and equiluminance stimulus onset-offset, elicited by a high quality moving mirror stimulator. Different sized checkerboard patterns (0.35-4.2 c/deg) were used as stimulus patterns. The wave forms of the equiluminance stimulus onset responses were similar to ERGs evok...
متن کاملVisual evoked potentials elicited by chromatic motion onset
Visually Evoked Potentials (VEPs) were recorded in response to the onset of chromatic and luminance motion gratings of 1 cpd and luminance 40 cd m(-2) subtending a 7 degrees field. At slow speeds (< or =2 cycles s(-1)) the motion onset response exhibits a clear amplitude minimum at isoluminance. Over the Michelson contrast range tested (0.05-0.75) the chromatic response at 2 cycles s(-1) posses...
متن کاملThe Cortical Topography of Visual Evoked Potentials Elicited by Chromatic and Luminance Motion
When motion-onset VEPs are elicited by moving luminance patterns, the motion specific component of the response, N2, is more prominent at electrode sites that overlay the lateral occipito-parietal cortex close to area V5/MT, than over the primary visual cortex. Functional segregation suggests that colour and motion processing should take place along different ventral occipito-temporal and later...
