title: Simultaneously recorded retinal and cerebral potentials to windmill stimulation.
abstract: Visual evoked retinal and cerebral potentials were recorded to onset rotation of an isoluminant sectored disc. While the retinal potentials recorded to onset rotation closely resembled the electroretinogram to a checkerboard or stripe pattern of fixed element size, the visual evoked potential changed interindividually and intraindividually from a fast positive wave at high contrasts, velocities and number of windmill segments to a later negative component at low contrasts, velocities and windmill segments. With change in luminance, contrast, speed and extent of rotation field size and number of disc segments, the visual evoked potential was generally less affected than the electroretinogram.
