Abstract
The flash-evoked visual evoked potential (VEP) was recorded in 12 infants 0–12 weeks of age. Along with traditional low-frequency waves (1–35 Hz), high-frequency (50–100 Hz) wavelets were examined. No wavelets were apparent in records obtained from infants below 4 weeks of age, although the low-frequency waves were clearly present at all ages tested. Wavelets showed a steady increase in amplitude and a small decrease in implicit time across the time period studied. The changes in wavelet development can be interpreted as a reflection of the significant postnatal maturation of the primary visual system, particularly the maculo and visual cortex.
