Previous methods for estimating visual acuity have used the visual evoked response conventionally the late visual evoked response components or the steady-state potential. The present experiments were undertaken to evaluate the possible use of short latency flashed pattern evoked responses in estimating pattern dependent activity in the cat visual system. Recordings were made from the skull bone and the dura above the primary visual cortex and intracortically. The visual evoked responses to patterned (checks) and non-patterned light flashes of high intensity and short duration were recorded. The visual evoked response activity recorded from the cortical surface had an onset latency of 14-15 ms. The initial positive-negative potential sequences of the responses were similar for patterned and non-patterned stimuli, however a difference was recorded from 35-40 ms after stimulus. The smallest check size which separated a pattern from a non-pattern VER was in the order of 10 min of arc. The results indicate that the short-latency cortical VER may be used to estimate visual resolution.
