Abstract
Visual cortical evoked potentials (EPs) have been employed in examining many Psychopathologic and neurologic states in man: assessing intellectual levels of functioning, assessing hemispheric specialization of function, and assessing drug effect, not to mention the enormous quantity of work accomplished in the basic sciences with single-cell and ganglion preparations. A clinical area of interest is application of EPs in Psychopathologic states.
