Differential Cortical Habituation with Stimulation of Central and Peripheral Retina

Abstract
A digital computer extracted and quantified cortical evoked potentials recorded from the scalp of man in response to repetitive light stimulation. The habituation of potentials from stimulation of the central retina was compared with habituation of potentials from stimulation of two peripheral retinal areas. Habituation was more rapid to peripheral stimulation and also significantly greater.
