✦ Synopsis

Evidence is controversial in respect to the optimal conditions in which visual evoked potentials provide an objective measure of binocular visual function, related and unrelated to stereopsis, and there is little emphasis on the type of stimulus that produces facilitation in binocular recording. We investigated the effects of stimulus type (flicker or pattern), contrast, and temporal modulation on facilitation, which was defined as a binocular response greater than sum of monocular responses. Monocular and binocular responses to sinusoidally modulated flicker and grating patterns were recorded in children and Fourier analyzed. The relationship of the fundamental Fourier component for flicker and the second harmonic component for pattern were each examined as function of temporal modulation at two levels of contrast for monocular and binocular visual evoked potentials. Binocular facilitation was found across all conditions for flicker. Data suggest that processing of pattern and flicker has different sites of origin within the visual system. Facilitation in binocular visual evoked potentials also indicates that they are not a result of simple summation of monocular responses, since there appears a nonlinear component to such interaction.
