31P-MRS combined with visual stimulation has been widely used to investigate energy metabolism in healthy subjects and patients. In this work we used a large number of subjects to assess metabolic variability in resting conditions and metabolic changes resulting from two visual stimulation protocols (short and long). Both protocols showed significant differences among on and off states for Pi (higher in on blocks) and for the PCr/Pi ratio (lower in on blocks), with a mean relative change of 13.4% (Pi, p=0.04) and -17.4% (PCr/Pi, p=0.007) for the short protocol and 5.3% (Pi,p=0.009) and -5.9% (PCr/Pi, p<0.001) for the long protocol.
