The EEG photic driving response is a sensitive neurophysiological measure. It has been used to assess drug effects, forms of epilepsy, neurological status of Alzheimer's patients, and physiological arousal. Photic driving also impacts the psychological status of a person by producing increased visual imagery and decreased physiological and subjective arousal. In this study, ten volunteers underwent nocturnal polysomnography followed by six daytime testing sessions. The six sessions consisted of the alpha attenuation test, two visual analog scales for mood, the Stanford Sleepiness Scale, photic stimulation, and the multiple sleep latency test. These tests were administered 2 hours upon awakening and every 2 hours thereafter. The mean mood across the six daytime testing sessions was computed for all mood variables pre- and post-photic stimulation. Significant differences were found for the subjective moods "sleepy," "alert," and "effort." However, no significant differences were found for pre- and post-photic driving for "angry," "irritable," "hungry," "tense," "overall," "happy," "sexual," and "sad." Additionally, all participants reported increased visual imagery during photic driving, as measured by their responses to an imagery questionnaire.
