Visual stimulation reduces EEG activity in man. Vijn, P., van Dijk, B., & Spekreijse, H. Brain Res., 550:49--53, May, 1991.
abstract   bibtex   
Data are presented which show that background electric activity of the human brain is reduced by visual stimulation. Occipital EEG amplitude decreases 5-15% for all frequencies analyzed (0.2-40 Hz) upon pattern stimulation. The reduction is stimulus-specific, i.e. is the strongest for stimuli that activate a large number of visual cortical neurons.
