- Abstract
The relation between the amplitude of visual responses to a checkerboard stimulus and the degree of lateral displacement of the checks was examined across different check sizes with simultaneously recorded electroretinograms (ERGs) and visual-evoked potentials (VEPs). The amplitudes of both the b–wave and the after-potential of the ERG increase linearly with pattern displacement. However, the major components of the VEP (N70 and P100) were smaller than expected from linearity for both small checks with small displacements (thresholding) and for large checks with large displacements (saturation). These results suggest that the ERG is proportional to the number of receptors stimulated, but the VEP reflects neural processes influenced by the spatial structure of the stimulus.
