The textbook "Optimising the steady-state multifocal visual evoked potential" provides a comprehensive examination of multifocal visual evoked potentials (mfVEP) and their application in clinical diagnostics as well as in basic research. It explains how the use of steady-state stimuli can simplify statistical analysis and reduce examination duration compared to traditional m-sequence stimuli. The authors, Nada Aldahlawi, Ted Maddess, and Siti Nurliyana Abdullah, present findings that show larger stimulation regions lead to stronger responses, and that spatially sparse stimulation combined with continuous stimuli does not improve the response. Additionally, the optimal viewing distance for annular stimuli is discussed, noting that a comfortable distance is just as effective as others. The book offers valuable insights into the detection of central and peripheral visual defects and highlights the role of strong long-range interactions concerning the ssmfVEP response.
