We have examined the response characteristics of the oscillatory potentials (OPs) of the human electroretinogram (ERG) obtained to ganzfeld flash stimuli presented against adapting fields. First, we determined the extent to which the OPs obtained to high luminance flashes change during the course of light adaptation to a cone-isolating adapting field. Regardless of the number of OP wavelets, the last OP wavelet increased in amplitude and decreased in implicit time to a greater extent than did the earlier wavelet(s). In addition, we examined the role of both flash and adapting field luminance in determining the wave form of the OPs. For each adapting field luminance that was tested, the number of OP wavelets increased as flash luminance increased, primarily resulting from the splitting of the last OP into 2 distinct wavelets. While the number of OP wavelets generally decreased as adapting field luminance increased, the amplitude of the last OP became larger. These functional distinctions between the last and the earlier wavelets are consistent with their representing the activity of different retinal generators.
