Pattern Reversal Visual Evoked Potentials and Reaction Time

摘要

The relationship between simple reaction time (RT) and the pattern-reversal visual evoked potential (PRVEP) and the effect of changes of arousal level on the latter were studied in 17 subjects. Results show increased P100 amplitude and decreased latency with increased arousal. The RT was correlated with P100 latency but not with amplitude. Differences between results and those obtained using flash VEPs are discussed.
