Human cerebral potentials evoked by moving dynamic random dot stereograms

Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology

Abstract

In 11 normal healthy human subjects an evoked potential was elicited by moving dynamic random dot stereograms. The random dots were generated by a minicomputer. An average of each of 8 EEG channels of the subjects tested was made. The maximum of the cerebral evoked potentials thus found was localized in the central and parietal region. No response earlier than 130--150 msec after the stimulus could be proved. The influence of fixation, the number of dots provided, an interocular interstimulus interval in the presentation of the dots, and lense accommodation movements on the evoked stereoptic potentials was investigated and discussed. An interocular interstimulus interval (left eye leading) in the presentation of the dots caused an increase in latency of the response much longer than the imposed interstimulus interval itself. It was shown that no accommodation was needed to perceive the depth impression, and to evoke the cerebral response with random dot stereograms. There are indications of an asymmetry between the two hemispheres in the handling of depth perception after 250 msec. The potential distribution of the evoked potentials strongly suggests that they are not generated in the occipital region.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
