      response in the posterior cerebral artery.

AB  - PURPOSE: Reading with direct light from computer monitors or tablets may cause 
      visual fatigue and hamper reading comprehension. Our aim was to compare the blood 
      flow response in the supplying artery of the visual cortex when reading from 
      tablet screen or from paper. The neurovascular coupling was tested also after 
      15-minute reading from either monitor or paper. METHODS: Flow velocity responses 
      evoked by reading from paper and from monitor were measured by transcranial 
      Doppler sonography in a random sequence in both posterior cerebral arteries 
      (PCAs) of 20 young healthy adults. Afterward, PCA flow response evoked by reading 
      from paper was also investigated after 15 minutes reading on the same tablet or 
      paper, in a random order. RESULTS: Reading from monitor with its own source of 
      light and reading from paper with indirect light caused very similar PCA flow 
      response. Moreover, the flow velocity increase, evoked by reading form paper did 
      not differ after 15-minute reading from monitor or from paper. CONCLUSIONS: 
      Reading with direct or indirect light produces similar flow response in the 
      occipital cortex.
