Pre-stimulus bioelectrical activity in light-adapted ERG under blue versus white background.

ABSTRACT: To compare the baseline signal between two conditions used to generate the photopic negative response (PhNR) of the full-field electroretinogram (ERG): red flash on a blue background (RoB) and white flash on a white background (LA3). The secondary purpose is to identify how the level of pre-stimulus signal affects obtaining an unambiguous PhNR component. A retrospective chart review was conducted on four cohorts of patients undergoing routine ERG testing. In each group, LA3 was recorded the same way while RoB was generated differently using various luminances of red and blue light. The background bioelectrical activity 30 ms before the flash was extracted, and the root mean square (RMS) of the signal was calculated and compared between RoB and LA3 using Wilcoxon test.
