Frequency doubling illusion VEPs and automated perimetry in multiple sclerosis.

We examined frequency doubling (FD) illusion based automated perimetry (FDT) and dichoptic FD multifocal visual evoked potentials (FDmfVEPs) in Normal and multiple sclerosis (MS) subjects. Contrast thresholds were determined at 17 visual field locations using an FDT perimeter. The stimuli presented to each location were 0.

Sparse multifocal stimuli for the detection of multiple sclerosis.

We compared the diagnostic capabilities of contrast reversal and sparse pattern pulse stimulation for dichoptic multifocal visual evoked potentials (mfVEPs) measured in normal subjects and multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Multifocal responses were obtained from 27 normal subjects and 50 relapsing-remitting patients, 26 of whom had experienced optic neuritis (ON+). The patient groups were matched for length of disease and number of clinical attacks.
