[Variability of the parameters of oscillatory potentials of the human electroretinogram].
Oscillatory potentials (OP) of the electroretinogram (ERG) of 20 subjects providing 30 normal eyes were recorded by means of Ganzfeld stimulation at 11 stimulus intensities. It was found that intensity-implicit time functions of the OP components are exponential, while the intensity-response curves are highly variable. The amplitudes of the four wavelets showed relatively large coefficients of variation and intersubject variation, while those of the implicit time are small. Thus it appears that measurement of oscillatory potential implicit time rather than amplitude may provide a more reliable index to access certain retinal condition.
