The effect of light deprivation on the flickering B-wave.

The effect of light deprivation on the flickering beta-wave was investagated. Results indicate that the flickering beta-wave is extremely reduced in the eye light-deprived for 14 to 20 days relative to the normal eye. The ratio of the second beta-wave (in a series of flickering beta-waves) to the ratio of the first beta-wave appears relatively unaffected by light deprivation, but the ratio of the fourth beta-wave to the first is significantly affected by light deprivation. The effect of light deprivation on the beta-waves evoked by a 13.4 milliambert flickering light is greater for beta-waves evoked later in the series than for beta-waves evoked earlier in the series.

Auditory signal detectability and facilitation of simple reaction time in psychiatric patients and non-patients.

Patients diagnosed on the basis of structured interviews as having affective psychoses were less sensitive in detecting the presence of a transient auditory signal than were schizophrenic patients or non-patients. Patients with affective psychoses also benefited more (their reaction time was more reduced) than the other two groups from the presence of a second auditory transient.

The effect of light deprivation on the B-wave input-output function.

Adult cats were subjected to monocular light deprivation for periods ranging from 12 to 20 days. Deprivation resulted in a significant decrease in the slope of the dark-adapted b-wave amplitude-luminance (input-output) function, as well as what appears to be a truncatee amplitude-luminance function, it is exaggerated in the light-deprived eye.
