If the contrast of multi-frequency stimuli is increased, Y cells show a phase advance in the self-sum frequencies but not in other output frequencies. We looked for these effects with a multi-region pattern electroretinogram (PERG) displaying the sum of two temporal frequencies in each visual field location. Regional variation was found in the recorded sum and difference frequencies. The results indicate that PERG signals become dominated by responses from Y-like cells when the FD illusion is seen.enMagnocellularMulti-regionNon-linearPattern electroretinogramRectifyingSandwich modelSpatial frequency doubled illusionSum of sinusoidsY cells199710.1111/j.1442-9071.1997.tb01770.x0030740752
