          Abstract

          O potencial provocado visual (VEP) é uma resposta cortical registrável na superfície do couro cabeludo, que reflete a atividade dos neurônios de V1. é classificado, a partir da freqüência temporal de estimulação, em transiente ou de estado estacionário. Outras propriedades do estímulo parecem provocar uma atividade seletiva dos diversos grupos de neurônios existentes em V1. Desse modo, o VEP vem sendo usado para estudar a visão humana acromática e cromática. Diversos trabalhos usaram o VEP para estimar a sensibilidade ao contraste de luminância no domínio das freqüências espaciais. Mais recentemente, há estudos que empregaram o VEP para medir os limiares de discriminação de cores. O VEP transiente pode complementar as medidas psicofísicas de sensibilidade ao contraste espacial de luminância e de discriminação cromática, e constitui um método não invasivo para estudar a visão de indivíduos com dificuldades de realizar testes psicofísicos.

          Le potenciel évoqué visuel (VEP) est une réponse corticale qui peut être enregistrée à la surface du cuir chevelu. Il reflète l'activité des neurones de V1 et est classifié, selon la fréquence de stimulation temporale, en transitoire ou stationnaire. D'autres propriétés du stimulus semblent provoquer une activité sélective des divers groupes de neurones existants dans V1. Ainsi, le VEP est utilisé pour étudier la vision humaine achromatique et chromatique. Divers travaux ont utilisé le VEP pour estimer la sensibilité au contraste de luminance dans le domaine des fréquences spatiales. Plus récemment, des études ont utilisé le VEP pour mesurer les seuils de discrimination des couleurs. Le VEP transitoire peut compléter les mesures psychophysiques de sensibilité au contraste spatial de luminance et de discrimination chromatique et constitue une méthode non envahissante pour étudier la vision des sujets avec des difficultés à réaliser les tests psychophysiques.

          Translated abstract

          The Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) is a cortical response obtainable on the scalp. It usually reflects the activity from V1 neurons. It is classified in transient or steady-state, according with the temporal frequency of stimulation. Other stimuli properties evoke a selective activity from different neuronal groups found in V1. This way, VEP have been used to study luminance and chromatic human vision. Several studies used VEP to estimate luminance contrast sensitivity in the spatial frequency domain. More recently, some studies used VEP to measure color discrimination thresholds. The transient VEP shows a good agreement with psychophysical measurements of spatial luminance contrast sensitivity and color discrimination, being a noninvasive method to study vision from subjects with difficulty to perform psychophysical tests.

            An on-line transformation of EEG scalp potentials into orthogonal source derivations.

            Bo Hjorth (1975)
            A new type of EEG derivation has been investigated. This derivation, constituting a practical implementation of the Laplace operator, detects source activity as it appears at the surface level of the scalp. It is realized in the 10-20 system of electrode placement basically as an analogue superposition of four bipolar derivations, forming a star-like configuration around each electrode. Visual estimation of the topographical origins of a pattern, is thus replaced by a more efficient on-line process, which derives the source activity at the position of each individual electrode. Practical correlation tests have shown that the separation of adjacent derivations is improved by a factor of between two and four, compared to the corresponding bipolar and common reference derivations. Any feature of local origin will therefore have a correspondingly increased signal-to-noise ratio prior to the stage of visual or automatic interpretation. As a consequence of the partition of the scalp field into 19 source zreas, instead of utilizing an arbitrary number of potential differences, one fixed montage with 19 recorder channels is sufficient to present the total surface activity, within the limits of resolution of the electrode system.
