The stimulus was a checkerboard subtending a small (1 degree) or large (30 degrees) visual field. Significant differences in P60, N75 and P100 latency and amplitude were found between the two subject groups, especially during the processing of the large visual field. In fencers and left-handers shorter latencies were found for the large visual field condition, whereas right-handers showed an opposite trend. The results give further evidence of special patterns of visual processing in athletes, like fencers, in agreement with the literature.
