An analysis of the B-wave in the human ERG
article
An attempt has been made to analyse the system: light stimulus-ERG, under certain restricted conditions. It appears that this non-linear system can be described by three fundamental functions: 1. (1) The amplitude (h) of the b-wave to a short flash vs. the energy content (E) of that flash. If normalized in a suitable way, we refer to this function as the h(E) standard curve; 2. (2) The shape of an arbitrary b-wave to a short stimulus. If normalized in a suitable way, we call this a unit-response u(t); 3. (3) A function that describes the recovery of the b-wave if a stimulus is presented some time after a preceding stimulus. This function is called the effective curve. Once these three functions are known, it is possible to predict the response to an arbitrarily shaped (in time) stimulus. Several examples of the procedure are given.
