A t-test (see Table 8) was performed to
analyze the significance of using base-in prisms and bi-nasal occluders for the experimental and control groups. Specifically, the increase in the amplitude of the binocular VEP when using base-in prisms and bi-nasal occluders was studied. The results indicated that the use of base-in prisms and bi-nasal occluders produced a large increase in the experimental group, and that the difference was statistically significant (p < 0 - 0 1).
