Introductory sentence

The first sentence states: "In the field of neuropsychology, a visual evoked potential is an evoked potential caused by sensory stimulation of a subject's visual field." Can the first phrase (i.e. "In the field of neuropsychology") be removed as redundant information because the definition is the same for the field of ophthalmology?
