background:  optical coherence tomography (oct) is a non-invasive instrument, which can be used to estimate the thickness of the retinal nerve fibre layer (rnfl) and provides an indirect measurement of axonal destruction in multiple sclerosis (ms). the main aim of this study was to find out any correlations between p100 latency in visual evoked potential (vep) and rnfl thickness. methods: the p...

PURPOSE To perform an objective functional assessment of the impact of blue-light filters on cortical processing to evaluate the potential side effects of the filters on higher tier visual function at the neural level. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, Magdeburg, Germany. DESIGN Cohort study. METHODS Multifocal pattern-reversal visual-evoked pote...

In this paper, an extended multifocal VEP/ERG paradigm, referred to as the unified multifocal electroretinography and visual evoked potential paradigm (UMEV), is presented. This paradigm allows a simultaneous recording of luminance responses, temporal interactions, spatial interactions and spatial-temporal interactions. Two studies were conducted to demonstrate the capability and validity of th...

Our aim was to determine whether patients with retinitis pigmentosa show differences in L- and M-cone multifocal visual evoked potential (mfVEP) responses that are eccentricity dependent, as has been shown for control subjects. Second, we compared the losses for mfVEPs to losses on achromatic visual field and multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) measures in the patients. Monocular mfVEPs were r...

Dynamic random dot fusion, stereopsis and stereoacuity were evaluated in 149 healthy, fullterm infants, using both forced-choice preferential looking (FPL) and steady-state visual evoked potential (VEP) protocols. Few infants aged 2-3 months demonstrated fusion or stereopsis in either the FPL or VEP protocol; most infants aged 5 months and older demonstrated fusion and stereopsis in both protoc...

The present paper complements our investigations on children's and adult's EEGs and evoked potentials elicited by mean of auditory stimulation. We analyzed the spectral characteristics of spontaneously recorded EEGs, visual evoked potentials, and frequency responses of a group of 3-year-old children. The results were compared to the corresponding measurements in adults aged 20-22 years. Our fin...

Chromatic contrast thresholds may be estimated from transient VEPs by measuring the peak-to-peak amplitude at a range of stimulus levels followed by extrapolation to zero amplitude. However, there have been reports of failure of this technique when applied to the transient chromatic VEP due to variability of amplitude, difficulties with component identification and poor correlation of amplitude...

This study deals with the effect of stimulus contrast, between 1.3% and 96%, on the visual evoked potentials (VEPs) for onset of motion and for pattern reversal of checkerboard stimuli. The VEPs for pattern reversal and for the onset of motion both contain an initial positive peak (P1; peak latency about 120 msec) followed by a later negative peak (N2; peak latency 160-200 msec). However the P1...
