METHOD FOR EXAMINATION OF EYE-MOVING REACTION SPEED Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: medicine; diagnostics of brain condition; mental fatigue determination. SUBSTANCE: method of examination of eye-moving reaction speed in horizontal plane includes presentation of visual signals in the form of light stimuli with recording of response. Visual signals in the form of luminous digits on digital indicators are presented to patient under test. Indicators are positioned on periphery of perimeter at preset angle of 35 deg in external or internal field of vision. Time of digit exposition is from 0.005 to 1 s with minimum step of 0.005 s. Digits are presented during time necessary for their perception. Then total time of visual perception and eyeball movement is determined. Eye movement time is determined by subtraction of time spent on digit perception on central indicator from total time. EFFECT: higher accuracy of examination. 1 dwg , 1 tbl
