Evoked potentials to dynamic random dot stereograms in upper, center and lower fields. 1986

B Fenelon, and R A Neill, and C T White

Dynamic random dot stereograms consisting of square, crossed disparities subtending 3 degrees, exposure duration 100 ms, were presented in the midplane centrally (surrounding the fixation point) and in the upper and lower fields at 3.5 degrees vertical displacement from fixation. Stereoscopic cerebral evoked potentials (EPs) recorded from scalp sites 02, 01, T6 and T5 (10-20 system) were analyzed in a group of normal young adults (N = 28). Fourteen were able to perceive and report the stereophenomenon (perceivers); the other half were unable to do so (nonperceivers). Mean response amplitudes were significantly larger to center field stimuli than to those in the upper field. Responses were larger in perceivers than nonperceivers, maximal at T5, and larger to stimuli with definite than indefinite boundaries. Peak EP latencies were shortest to lower field stimuli (243 ms) but not significantly different than to center (247 ms) or upper (253 ms) field stimuli. A separate experiment comparing EP amplitudes and latencies with crossed and uncrossed disparities of varying magnitudes confirmed greater responses to the crossed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
