There will be a replacement and an additional two lecturers in this
course in additon to those listed on the website.
* Dr E E Sutter - mathematical basis of multifocal recording
* Ulf Kretchmnan - clinical multifocal ERG fields - fast,
non-invasive recording methods and applications
* Don Hood - Comparison of long scotopic and photopic mulitfocal
ERGs to scotopic and photopic visual fields
* Yozo Miyake - On and Off components in long flash multifocal
photopic ERGs, OPs and other minor subcomponents
* Stewart Graham and Alexis Klistoner - Multifocal pattern VERs -
recording methods and applications
Roland Corporation - Multifocal Recording in an SLO
* Laura Frishman/John Robson - Multifocal recording in animals
* Dr E E Sutter - special applications to pupilliary, other
responses, PERGs and other new directions.
Dr Ulrich Seeliger will take on the role originally proposed for Roland
Corporation and will speak on multifocal recordings with an SLO. He has
been doing trials on this instrument in animals and man in collaboration
with the Roland company for a few years now.
Dr David Keating of Glascow University has agreed to talk on the basic
hardware requirements and his topic is approximately:- "Advantages and
disadvantages of various electrodes, stimulus presentation arrangements.
forms of shieding and other noise reduction methods."
Dr David Crewther, of La Trobe University, Melbourne Australia, has
kindly volunteered to fill an apparent gap in the program and talk on
"The clinical advantaqges of examining the higher order kernels"
We have to be careful his talk does not overlap other speakers. he has
also been asked to stay close to achievable practice and clinical
relevance. He has offered to cover:-
* Comultation of the higher order kernels (if not covered by Dr Sutter)
* Non-linearities in cortical mVEP - a tool for investigating inputs
from other neural streams particularly with application to ocular
disease.
* Probing inner retinal function - the retinal generators for chromatic
non-linearities in the mERG - the ONH component in higher order kernels
of the mERG
* Differences between chromatic and achromatic second order mERGs (with
reference to harmonic analysis approaches)
All speakers have now formally accepted.
As soon as possible we will draw up a full course timetable and will
write to all lecturers to send in a curriculum, proposals for points to
be included in the practical demonstrations (such as testing for overlap
before chosing a tap word) and course outline plus any other notes they
would like distributed to the students as handouts. The course committee
will then revise and ask for changes in curricula where necessary to
avoid overlap or maintain an emphasis on clinical and experimental
practicalities.
I am considering lectures of around 40 mins with 5 mins questions. In
two days that would make seven and a half hours of lectures and leave
about the smae for the hands on practical training.
