METHOD FOR DETECTION OF ABILITY TO ANTICIPATE COURSE OF EVENTS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B5/16 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: circle with a mark and a point object is presented on the screen. The point object circles at preset speed, the preset time before the mark appears, and it disappears from the screen, while the circling of the point object proceeds. The moment the point object is supposed to match with the mark, the person under the test press button "Stop" to stop the circling of the point object, and the point object appears on the screen again in that place where circling has been stopped. Then a mismatch error of the point object and mark is calculated representing time of delay error with a positive sign or advance error with a negative sign, and in preset time he circling of the point object is recommenced. The described procedure is performed for preset times to calculate ability to anticipate the circling object position relative to the mark T_ant as an arithmetic-mean value by formula:

where t_i is an i-th delay error with a positive sign or advance error with a negative sign, ms; n - number of stops of the point object within the mark position.

EFFECT: method allows detecting ability to anticipate the circling object position relative to the mark.
