    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Visual Evoked Potentials
    • Electroencephalography

    Background:

    • Determining the precise source of visually evoked potentials (VEPs) is complex, especially with lateralization observed during half-field stimulation.
    • Traditional methods often face challenges in accurately localizing these visual processing origins.
    • The electroencephalogram (EEG) provides valuable insights but requires sophisticated analysis for source localization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present an alternative method for identifying the scalp current sources and sinks of VEPs.
    • To investigate the localization of VEPs using source derivation techniques.
    • To analyze VEPs in response to half-field and full-field stimulation in normal and visually impaired subjects.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of Hjorth's source derivation procedure to cortical evoked potentials.
    • Utilizing scalp current flow analysis to identify maximal current into or out of the cortex.
    • Comparing results from right and left half-field stimulation, and upper and lower field stimulation.

    Main Results:

    • Source derivation successfully identified current sinks and sources in VEPs.
    • Distinct patterns were observed between right and left half-field stimulation.
    • Differences in VEP source localization were noted in patients with visual deficits compared to normal subjects.

    Conclusions:

    • Source derivation offers a practical approach to localize VEPs, complementing existing EEG interpretation methods.
    • This technique provides a direct means to identify the cortical origins of visual processing.
    • The findings contribute to understanding visual pathway function and dysfunction in neurological conditions.
