Abstract:
Characteristics of the visual evoked response to chromatic and luminance-modulated stimuli reflect the activity of underlying neural mechanisms, although selective neuronal activity depends upon stimulus parameters. In the present study, the behaviour of the transient visual evoked response to low spatial and temporal frequency chromatic stimuli is investigated at a range of colour luminance ratios. Our results show that the response to pattern-offset may be used in addition to the pattern-onset response as part of the signature of the evoked response to luminance-modulated or isoluminant chromatic stimuli.
