Spatial frequency tuning in the visual evoked potential elicited by sine-wave gratings. 1984

J L Reed, and M S Marx, and J G May

This investigation examined the onset response of the transient visually evoked potential elicited by the appearance-disappearance of sine-wave gratings at various levels of spatial frequency, suprathreshold contrast, and stimulus duration. The response was most easily characterized by two negative-positive complexes that were differentially tuned to spatial frequency. The earlier complex peaked at high spatial frequencies while the later complex peaked at low spatial frequencies. For both complexes, amplitude showed only slight variations across three-octave ranges of contrast and duration. Latency was curvilinearly related to spatial frequency, decreased with increasing contrast, and showed no apparent change as a function of duration.

D013997 Time Factors Elements of limited time intervals, contributing to particular results or situations. Time Series,Factor, Time,Time Factor
D014792 Visual Acuity Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast. Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
