Hemi-field pattern visual evoked potentials: a comparison of display and analysis techniques. 1989

Department of Neurology, University of Chicago, IL 60637.

Three methods for analyzing the spatial organization of visual evoked potentials were compared. Pattern reversal visual evoked potentials were obtained from a single subject under three viewing conditions: stimulation of the left, right, and both visual fields. The scalp distribution of the VEP to 1 deg checks was displayed using three recording and analysis techniques: a conventional horizontal occipital array of electrodes, topographic mapping, and 3-dimensional evoked potentials. All three techniques revealed "paradoxical" lateralization of P100. The relative merits of each technique are discussed.
