Abstract: | The Authors have studied the behaviour of checkerboard pattern visual evoked potential (VEP) latencies by using different spatial frequency stimuli and different stimulating visual fields in order to demonstrate whether spatial frequency might constitute a parameter capable of exciting different retinal regions like different stimulus fields. According to the recent literature low spatial frequency stimuli generate VEP with latencies which are significantly shorter than high spatial frequency stimuli, making this method more reliable for the differentiation of macular and peripheral retinal fields. |
