Identification of clusters in multifocal electrophysiology recordings to maximize discriminant capacity (patients vs. control subjects).

This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of a method able to determine the arbitrary clustering of multifocal responses that possesses the greatest capacity to discriminate between control subjects and patients when applied to the visual field of mfERG or mfVEP recordings. The method may prove helpful in diagnosing any disease that is identifiable in patients' mfERG or mfVEP recordings and is extensible to other clinical tests, such as optical coherence tomography.
