title: Visually evoked potentials in response to rotating plane-polarized blue light.
abstract: Visually evoked cortical potentials closely related to the appearance and disappearance of Haidinger's brushes were obtained in response to onset and offset of rotation of plane-polarized blue light. The method provides a means of investigating macular function in man; it is fairly independent of ocular opacities and relates, for the first time, entoptic phenomena to those evoked by extrinsic light stimulation.
