Measures of Evoked Responses and EEGs during Shallow Saturation Diving

Abstract

Visual evoked responses (VERs) and electroencephalograms (EEGs) were recorded during the course of a long-term, shallow, nitrogen/oxygen saturation dive. Measures were made during excursion dives and at the saturation level prior to and following each excursion. Comparison with a control series, in which bounce dives were made from the surface, revealed that some adaptive changes took place in the VER; complete adaptation however did not occur. Reduction in frequency and amplitude of alpha, in the EEG, also was found during the course of the saturation period.
