Abstract
Two experiments were presented. In Experiment 1, quantitative localization indices, based on flicker perimetry, were developed. They were applied to a group of thirty-eight brain-damaged patients with 66% correct identification. In Experiment 2 the indices and neurological rating technique were refined. In a group of twenty-eight brain-damaged patients there was 82% agreement with neurological criteria on the question of whether the lesion was localizable or not. Of those patients judged to have localizable lesions, there was 85% agreement between the neurologist's localization statement and that made on the basis of flicker indices. These results suggest that quantitative flicker perimetry can contribute information of value to the diagnostic process in cases of brain damage.
