The electro-oculogram (EOG) may be defined as a record of eye movement based on the detection of the D. C. potential of the eye and subsequent electronic magnification. Depending upon whether a D. C. or a capacitance-coupled amplifier is employed, the amplitude of the EOG will be subject to different interpretation. With a D. C. amplifier, for instance, the amplitude of the EOG will bear a relationship to the angle of ocular rotation. However, regardless of the type of instrument used, it is evident that the resultant EOG must also be a function of the magnitude of the resting potential of the eye. Experimental procedures which alter the eye potential can be expected to affect the EOG accordingly. Although several papers * relate their results to the D. C. potential of the eye, the relationship is indirect, inasmuch as EOG's rather than eye potentials were recorded.
