The effects of amylobarbitone and dexamphetamine on the Bidwell phenomenon were studied. The measure used as the dependent variable was the intensity of the red coloured stimulus which was necessary if it were to become just visible when followed by a fixed white stimulus. It was found that the intensity threshold of the red stimulus was raised under amylobarbitone and lowered under dexamphetamine. There was a difference in the latent period of the action of these drugs, dexamphetamine acting much more quickly than amylobarbitone. Possible physiological mechanisms responsible for the production of the phenomenon are discussed and the results of the present experiment evaluated in the light of available evidence concerning the action of drugs on these processes.
