## Abstract This study aimed to characterize the neural generators of the early components of the visual evoked potential (VEP) to isoluminant checkerboard stimuli. Multichannel scalp recordings, retinotopic mapping and dipole modeling techniques were used to estimate the locations of the cortical

β¦ Synopsis
There has been much recent conjecture over the apparent source location of the visually evoked potential, particularly in considering the lateralization found in halffield pattern reversal stimulation. This paper presents an alternative by directly identifying the sinks or sources present in the scalp current flow as these correspond to the maximal current flow into or out of the cortex (Nunez, 1981). Hjorth (1975) introduced a practical procedure for source derivation which has proved useful in the interpretation of the electroencephalogram (Wallin and Stalberg, 1980). We have applied source derivaton to cortical evoked potentials and present results obtained from right and left half-field stimulation, (Clement, Flanagan and Harding, 1985) and upper and lower field stimulation in normal subjects and patients with visual deficits.

Visual acuity was estimated with visual evoked potentials in 13 healthy subjects. A Laplacian derivation of 5 electrodes was used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and to enhance striate cortical activity selectively. In 6 subjects, the Laplacian derivation gave a more reliable estimation of visu
