Abstract
The effect of light deprivation on the flickering β wave was investigated in cats. Results indicate that the flickering β wave is extremely reduced in the eye light deprived for 14 to 20 days relative to the normal eye. The ratio of the second β wave (in a series of flickering β waves) to the ratio of the first β wave appears relatively unaffected by light deprivation, but the ratio of the fourth β wave to the first is significantly affected by light deprivation. The effect of light deprivation on the β waves evoked by a 13.4 milliambert flickering light is greater for β waves evoked later in the series than for β waves evoked earlier in the series.
