  • Title: [The optic blink reflex: stimulus dependency, excitability and habituation (author's transl)].
    Author: Säring W, von Cramon D.
    Journal: EEG EMG Z Elektroenzephalogr Elektromyogr Verwandte Geb; 1981 Dec; 12(4):185-9. PubMed ID: 6800762.
    Abstract:
    Stimulus dependency, excitability and habituation of the flash-induced optic blink reflex were examined by means of an electrooculogram. The results were clearly dependent on the background illumination. In a 30 Lux illuminated room, the blink amplitude and the excitability increased with an increasing stimulus intensity. In a dark room, a low flash intensity was sufficient to produce both high level blink amplitude and excitability which could not be increased by a greater stimulus intensity. The optic blink reflex habituated only very slowly depending on the variability between the stimuli.
