Abstract
The electrical response of the human retina to flashes of white and colored light was recorded through 90 min. of dark-adaptation. The active electrode was mounted in a contact-lens. Results are presented showing the increase in the amplitude of the principal b-wave as a function of time in the dark and as a function of intensity. The b-wave appears to represent the scotopic mechanism. The possibility of relating the results to our knowledge of psychophysical functions is discussed.Keywords
