Abstract

The task of objective perimetry is to scan the visual field and find an answer about the function of the visual system. Flicker-burst stimulation-a physiological sensible combination of transient and steady-state stimulation- is used to generate deterministic sinusoidal responses or visually evoked potentials (VEP's) at the visual cortex, which are derived from the electroencephalogram by a suitable electrode array. In this paper we develop a new method for the detection of VEP's. Based on the periodogram of a time- series, we test the data for the presence of hidden periodic components, which correspond to steady-state VEP's. The method is applied successfully to real data.
