title: Detection of learning disabilities using the visually evoked cortical potential.
abstract: It was proposed that the Visually Evoked Cortical Potential (VECP) could be used to detect learning disabilities. It was found that a comparison of the responses from the two parietal lobes to a checkerboard pattern could provide such a detector. The latency differences had a correlation of .79 with scores on a test of learning disabilities for high school aged children.
