Rarebit test principles • use stimuli of minimal subtense (ideally smaller than receptive fields), - at high & fixed contrast, - briefly exposed (to negate sweep gains); • check once only for the presence of function (no thresholding), - in ever-new, non-overlapping locations; - calculate hit rate
Model of receptive field matrix with 10% ”holes”. A macro stimulus can activate several good fields. Micro stimuli (”rare bits”) in ever new positions should on average activate 9 fields out of 10.
Key rarebit parameters: Dot size: 0.5 x MAR* * Minimum Angle of Resolution Contrast: high & fixed
Main result parameter Hit Rate = Sum of responses Sum of presentations Expected normal hit rate 100% (except at blindspot and in angioscotoma)
Case of mild optic neuritis VA = 0.8 = 20/25 HRP (High-pass Resolution Perimetry) RBP (Rarebit Perimetry)
