Asymmetric Pattern Evoked Responses and Stimulus Parameters

  • Chapter
Book cover Visual Electrodiagnosis in Systemic Diseases

Abstract

By vertical half field stimulation with a pattern reversal movement and a pattern flash, both Halliday’s results of an ipsilateral occipital response and those of Jeffreys of a contralateral occipital response could be confirmed. These discrepancies can be explained by assuming two occipital dipoles, in one of which is the origin of the CI of Jeffreys, while in the other the origin of Halliday’s main positive peak as well as CIII of Jeffreys can be located.
