摘要

Transcranial magnetic stimulation applied over the occipital pole is able to induce the perception of light flashes called phosphenes. For phosphene detection and threshold measurement subjects are usually blindfolded or investigated in the dark. The question that we posed here is whether phosphene thresholds change with variations in ambient light. In six subjects we measured thresholds under four different conditions: closed eyes (5 min adaptation) and 0.5, 100, and 3,200 cd/m2 background illumination. No systematic change in phosphene thresholds was observed with different lighting conditions. In three subjects we repeated the measurements after one week and again found similar values with no systematic modulation. Our data show that cortical excitability does not change with different light adaptation levels. This confirms that the main adaptation to light takes place at subcortical levels, namely at the retina. The practical conclusion is that it is unnecessary to blindfold subjects when determining phosphene thresholds.
