Effects of the inter-stimulus interval on visual evoked potentials to patterned stimuli.
Visual evoked potentials to patterned stimulation of the upper and lower half of the visual field were investigated in nine adult Ss. The inter-stimulus interval varied between 350 and 2,600 msec. With patterned stimulation, no inter-stimulus interval effects were obtained for occipital components. In contrast for the vertex lead, on the other hand, as inter-stimulus interval increased, the N140-P200 amplitude increased. Because of the heterogeneity subjects' responses evoked by upper half-field stimulation, this effect was more pronounced in lower half-field stimulation.
