International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision
Encyclopedia
The International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV) is an association that promotes research and applications of electrophysiological methods
(e.g. electroretinogram, electrooculogram
, and visual evoked potentials) in clinical diagnosis of ophthalmological
diseases. The society was founded in 1958 as the International Society for Clinical Electroretinography (ISCERG) and holds annual meetings that take place at changing locations. The official journal is Documenta Ophthalmologica. The society also establishes standards for electrophysiological diagnosis.
Electrophysiology
Electrophysiology is the study of the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues. It involves measurements of voltage change or electric current on a wide variety of scales from single ion channel proteins to whole organs like the heart...

Electrooculography
Electrooculography is a technique for measuring the resting potential of the retina. The resulting signal is called the electrooculogram. The main applications are in ophthalmological diagnosis and in recording eye movements...
