Pooling of Visual Evoked Signals from Humans—a Demonstration of Components above 100 Hz

Nature volume 220, pages 980–984 (1968)Cite this article

Abstract

Signals in the 70 to 500 Hz pass-band which are time-locked and positively correlated in amplitude with the visual evoked response (0.1–20 Hz) can be recorded on the human scalp over the visual area. Highly consistent responses have been produced between independent samples of normal humans by pooling signals within groups.
