EXPERIENCE WITH PHOTIC STIMULATION IN PSYCHIATRIC RESEARCH
Abstract
Intermittent photic stimulation has been of value in psychiatric research in a number of areas which include: (1) the development of screening techniques based upon the EEG driving response and subjective responses to photic stimulation; (2) correlated studies of photic stimulation with psychological tests; (3) studies relating driving response to clinical symptomatology; (4) use in provoking paroxysmal or psychiatric symptoms; (5) use of photic stimulation, together with a convulsant drug to study differences in convulsive thresholds among patients of various diagnostic groups; (6) as a treatment method in photo-shock, and (7) for studies of the neurophysiology of learning.
