Abstract

A new method to stimulate visual evoked potentials (VEPs) using laser speckle patterns is described. The principle of producing the speckle patterns is theoretically analyzed and an optimal optical system for stimulation of the VEPs is considered. The feasibility of this method is demonstrated by simple experiments carried out on a group of normal subjects. Application of this method to the assessment of the visual function of cataractous eyes is investigated.
