Summary
Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) to a briefly presented pattern in black-and-white are reduced by pre-exposure to the same pattern formed only by contrasting textures. When such texture-contrast patterns are used as stimuli, however, the VEP is different in latency and in its sensitivity to changes in pattern geometry.
