Abstract
The evaluation of visual potentials (VEP) evoked by pattern reversal includes the latency and amplitude of P100. An increase in the mean brightness or contrast of the checkerboard stimulus results in an increase in amplitude and a decrease in latency of P100. A square edge subtense of 20' in checkerboard pattern or a spatial frequency of 3-4 cyc/degrees in stripe pattern produce maximum responses. Transient VEPs are recorded at low repetition rates (less than 2 Hz), steady state VEPs at temporal frequencies above 8 Hz. In the latter condition the VEP takes the character of a sinusoidal train of waves which, compared to transient stimulation allows for a better measurement of VEP amplitude. The latency of P100 increases with the age of the subject. The influence of the different stimulus parameters and recording techniques must be known and have to be kept constant in order to record reliable and reproducible VEPs.
