A study of responses in Octopus vulgaris visual system was carried out. Gross recordings were made in the free swimming animal responding to brief flashes of light. A simple negative electroretinogram [ERT] was recorded within the eye beginning at 8 msec peaking at 20-25 msec. With the animal resting, the amplitude of the ERG could be increased by gentle tactile stimuli which produce no movement or pupil change. Immediately behind the retina, aft oscillating potential was recorded beginning 15 msec after the flash and lasting for about 40 msec with a frequency of about 150 per second. This was believed to be produced by synchronized volleys in the optic nerve fibers travelling at about 1 m per sec. In the optic lobe, one could record the ERG, the arriving oscillatory volley and a gross response starting at 30 msec after the flash and peaking 20 msec later.
