[FUN_Mail] vision lab ideas?

[Joshua Martin]

I just learned the Wild ERG (electroretinogram) experiments at the CrawFly
course in January.  They are super simple and robust for physiology
experiments:

and

http://funfaculty.org/conference_materials/2014%20-%20Ithaca/Presentations/Wild%20Eye%20ERG%20Protocol.pdf

These use a contact electrode (essentially a wet piece of string) which
makes the whole protocol almost foolproof.
