Evoked cortical potentials: relation to visual field and handedness.

The amplitiude of evoked responses of occipital cortex in man depends on the visual field in which the stimulus appears. Greater responses occurred repeatedly for two of three subjects, both left-handed. when the stimululs appeared in the left field than in the right. Subsequent tests of 13 right- and 13 left-handed males indicted that the magnitude of the response of the right lobe, relative to that of the left, was greater for left-handed individuals. We conclude that the difference in amplitude between the two lobes is related to handedness.

Perceived number and evoked cortical potentials.

Evoked cortical potentials and the numsber of flashes perceived were compared when subjects were presented with short trains of flashes under conditions where each presented flash could not be counted individually, but the train of flashes appeared to be flickering (1 to 14 flashes at 33.3 flashes per second). The rate at which each successive perceived flash was added appeared to correspond with the rate at which the successive components of the evoked response pattern were added. The temporal nature of this pattern was similar for both single flashes and trains of flashes. The results suggest that the onset of stimulation triggers a process whlich has a marked effect on both the cortical and perceptual response to subsequent stimulation.
