DCS induces an enhancement of visual flash response in activation area and amplitude (single example). Left- and right-eye flash responses are plotted in upper and lower rows, respectively (ipsilateral responses are masked out). The color range is between mean + 1SD and the peak value of the baseline visual evoked response. Areas exceeding 90% of the baseline visual evoked response (active areas) are demarcated by solid black borders. Credit: RIKEN
