Abstract:
:The characteristics of the neural generator producing an evoked potential in response to the brief presentation of a vernier offset was investigated in three experiments. In the first study, averaged evoked potentials (EPs) recorded in response to a single vernier offset stimulus consisting of a horizontal line which changed from colinearity to noncolinearity for 100 msec every 1.5 sec were compared to responses elicited by other vernier configurations consisting of: stimuli with multiple offsets; stimuli presented in different orientations; targets with different offset features; and with the simple displacement of a colinear line. The results showed that a single vernier offset elicited a robust response if the offset was located in the central zone (1 degree) of the target. Other features of the target configuration were unimportant. Displacement of a colinear line over the same range without an offset evoked little, if any, response. In the second study, EPs were recorded in response to a single offset target which varied in magnitude from 21 to 82 sec of visual angle on different trials. The latency and amplitude of the EP response varied systematically with the amplitude of the vernier offset. Plots of EP amplitude against log of the offset magnitude were linear over the range of offsets employed. Straight lines fitted to the data and extrapolated to zero amplitude provided estimates of vernier threshold. These estimates agreed closely with psychophysical measures taken with the same targets and confirm the initial observations by Levi et al. (1983). In the third experiment, irrelevant contours were added to the vernier target in various spatial and temporal configurations. The addition of stationary, contiguous contours to the vernier target reduced the amplitude of the EP response when the contours were within 4-8 min of the offset, producing progressively less EP attenuation with increasing distance from the offset. However, brief presentation of the irrelevant contour (e.g. a single line passing through the offset) with an onset asynchrony relative to the vernier offset stimulus appropriate to assure simultaneity of the line-elicited EP and the offset-elicited EP yielded an enhanced response, i.e. to two responses added algebraically. The long latency of the offset evoked response and the summation results of the EPs generated by an offset and by a briefly presented linear contour suggests independence of the neural generators producing the response to these two targets.
