Motion-onset related visual evoked potentials (M-VEPs) were recorded as a result of the three basic (translating, radial and rotating) and one complex (spiral) motion stimulations in five subjects. Low contrast, retinotopically scaled patterns evoked potentials with major motion-onset specific negativity N160 with maximum in the parieto-temporal region.
All multidirectional motion stimuli elicited the motiononset response of significantly higher amplitude and shorter latency compared to the translating (unidirectional) motion. The rotation-onset evoked potentials had significantly shorter latencies than the rest of explored stimuli.
The most stable responses with the largest N160 amplitude were recorded to the radial motion. After masking of the central 20° of the visual field these motion-onset VEPs were acquired without statistically significant amplitude drop.
The efficiency and usefulness of the radial stimulus is presented in two clinical cases.
