Rarebit test principles- use stimuli of minimal subtense (ideally smaller than receptive fields),
- at high & fixed contrast,
- check once only for the presence of function (no thresholding),
- in ever-new, non-overlapping locations;
- calculate hit rate
- briefly exposed (to negate sweep gains);

Model of receptive field matrix with 10% ”holes”. A macro stimulus can activate several good fields. Micro stimuli (”rare bits”) in ever new positions should on average activate 9 fields out of 10.

Main result parameter Hit Rate =
Sum of responses Sum of presentations
Expected normal hit rate 100% (except at blindspot and in angioscotoma)
