Context:
Les potentiels évoqués visuels (PEV) ont montré un allongement de la latence de l’onde P2 aux flashs et un allongement de la latence ainsi qu’une diminution de l’amplitude de l’onde P100 aux PEV en damiers 60’ et 15’ plaidant en faveur d’une neuropathie optique rétrobulbaire (fig. 3).
Is there a specific word for a checker board pattern?
TIA Chris.

checkboard pattern
The specialist literature seems to use this term.
"The pattern stimulus was a small 5-degree field composed of 64 square checks each 36’ of arc reversing at 2/second. [...] Note the interhemispheric variability in Fig. 3a and 3c; and note checkerboard pattern reversal stimulation of the small 5-degree foveal area activates nearly as much cortical EEG surface activity as the 30-degree field of pattern stimulation displaying fMRI activity in Fig. 3a. [...]
The most common stimulus used is a checkerboard pattern, which reverses every half-second (Figure 4). [...]"

chessboard pattern
A UK English alternative, "chequerboard" is really US as they call the game of draughts "chequers".

If for US, then "checkers", not "chequers". :(

| Hi, Thanks for the reminder about US versus UK. Job already delivered and from memory it was for US office so chequers OK. |
