The Visual Evoked Cortical Response as a Measure of Stress in Naval Environments: Methodology and Analysis. (2) Rapid Flash Rates

Abstract

The second of two reports is presented whose goal is to evolve methodology for use in evaluating the visual evoked response (VER). The first presented techniques for obtaining and evaluating the complete evoked response; in this study, the method purposely results in VER's which are incomplete, by presenting the visual stimuli at rates that are too rapid to be responded to singly. Rapid flash rates are shown to produce VER's which are reliable and easy to interpret and assess statistically. Furthermore, they appear to be composed of factors in addition to elements from the complete evoked response. Together the methods evolved in the two papers provide efficient techniques for using the VER as a tool in studying Naval problems.
