Abstract

Two mathematicals model are presented for the oscillatory potentials of the electroretinogram. These models represent the oscillatory potential in terms of sets of parameters whose values may provide information of diagnostic value.

The test setup and protocol for obtaining the oscillatory potentials are described, as well as the data processing including acquisition up to identification of the model parameters.

Data from eight subjects, five normals and three diabetics, were used to evaluate the two models. These preliminary test results show a marked difference in the values of some of the model parameters between normals and diabetics.
