Evoked responses induced by random polygonal pattern presentation.
An experiment is described which was designated to test the assumption that visual EEG evoked response waveshapes in human beings may be influenced by the presentation of random shapes differing in level of their similarity and in angular position. A clear-cut difference between the blank flash and the patterns which might be determined by the presence of contours was observed. However, neither differences in EEG evoked responses referred to the shape nor to the angular position of the polygons were found.
