Background: Alzheimer dementia as the most common cause of dementia is a chronic, progressive, irreversible and incurable disease. The second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer is vascular dementia. One of the systems involved in dementia is the visuospatial system and visual evoked potential (VEP) can be one of the diagnostic methods for this disease. Therefore, the present study ai...

purpose: comparison of the results of visual evoked potential (vep) in time domain and frequency domain between multiple sclerosis (ms) suspected patients and normal indivisuals. method: eleven ms suspected patients with normal visual findings and 20 normal individuals were tested by vep. results were compared between two groups. results: the time domain results showed no significant difference...

Abstract Background: Opium-dependence having different effects on the nervous system is a common problem, especially in the Middle East and Iran. The aim of this study is evaluating the effects of opium-dependence on visual evoked potential (VEP) in men. Methods: Thirty subjects with both chronic cigarette smoking and opium-dependence (group 1) and 30 subjects with only chronic ciga...

introduction: demyelination is one of the main causes of neurological disability. it is the end product of numerous pathological processes, multiple sclerosis (ms) being the most common cause. more than 70% of the ms patients suffer from optic disturbances. this disease commonly affects the optic pathway, particularly the optic nerves and chiasm. several attempts have been made to produce a sui...

Introduction: Visual evoked potentials contain certain diagnostic information which have proved to be of importance in the visual systems functional integrity. Due to substantial decrease of amplitude in extra macular stimulation in commonly used pattern VEPs, differentiating normal and abnormal signals can prove to be quite an obstacle. Due to developments of use of machine l...

Introduction: Brain visual evoked potential (VEP) signals are commonly known to be accompanied by high levels of background noise typically from the spontaneous background brain activity of electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Material and Methods: A model based on dyadic filter bank, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and singular value decomposition (SVD) was developed to analyze the raw data...

Background: Visual evoked potential (VEP) is regarded as a useful, reliable and non-invasive technique for the diagnosis of lesions in the optic pathway.  This technique was used to investigate visual function in migraine.   Materials and Methods: 53 migraine patients (27 migraine cases with aura and 26 common migraine cases) and 55 controls were prospectively enrolled in this study.  Visual ev...
