VEP stands for Visual Evoked Potential, which is a diagnostic test that measures the electrical activities generated by the brain in response to visual stimulation. This test is performed to evaluate the function of the optic nerve and the visual pathway, which transmits visual information from the eyes to the brain. The VEP Test can help diagnose a variety of visual disorders, including optic nerve damage, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological disorders that affect vision.
During the VEP test, electrodes are attached to the scalp and a visual stimulus, such as a flashing light or a checkerboard pattern, is presented to the eyes. The electrodes record the electrical activity generated by the brain in response to the visual stimulus, and this information is analyzed to evaluate the function of the visual pathway.
