title: Visually evoked cortical potentials accompanying blinks.
abstract: Visual activity is initiated whenever there is a change in the light falling on the retinal receptors. In the present experiment, visually evoked cortical potentials, elicited by the light transients that accompany blinking, were recorded with an electrode array that minimized artifact pickup. Although these evoked potentials were roughly similar to those obtained by more conventional recording procedures, specific waveform features were observed.
