Abstract
In 80 subjects the dependence of movement-onset visual evoked potentials on some measures of stimulation was examined, and these responses were compared with pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials to verify the effectiveness of pattern movement application for visual evoked potential acquisition. Horizontally moving vertical gratings were generated on a television screen. The typical movement-onset reactions were characterized by one marked negative peak only, with a peak time between 140 and 200ms. In all subjects the sufficient stimulus duration for acquisition of movement-onset-related visual evoked potentials was 100ms; in some cases it was only 20ms. Higher velocity (5.6°/s) produced higher amplitudes of movement-onset visual evoked potentials than did the lower velocity (2.8°/s). In 80% of subjects, the more distinct reactions were found in the leads from lateral occipital areas (in 60% from the right hemisphere), with no correlation to handedness of subjects. Unlike pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials, the movement-onset responses tended to be larger to extramacular stimulation (annular target of 5°–9°) than to macular stimulation (circular target of 5° diameter).
