Abstract
With the experimental conditions, usually applied for recording human visual evoked responses (VERs), it is not possible to obtain a univocal and perfectly reproducible waveform with monochromatic light of different wavelength. This may be understood, if we realize, that: 1) recording electrodes on the scalp are placed widely apart from the electrogenerating areas (edges of calcarine fissure); 2) the number of summations, performed, is limited to 100 (comfort of the patient); 3) a low photopic luminance is used (sensitization of pathological responses through juxtaliminal monochromatic photostimulation).
