METHOD OF DETERMINING TIME OF PERSON'S RESPONSE TO OBJECT MOVING AWAY FROM THEM Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B5/16 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine and is intended for determination of time of person's response to object which is moving away from them. Closed limiting contour, inside which test object of analogous configuration is concentrically placed, is shown on videomonitor screen. Test object is magnified in accordance with specified rate, with imitation of its movement towards the tested person. At the moment of supposed coincidence if dimensions of limiting closed contour and test object the tested person stops magnification of test object diameter by pressing "Stop" button. After that, calculated is error of mismatch of diameters of test object and limiting circle - time of lag error with positive sign or advance error with negative sign and specified time tested person is again shown closed contour, inside which test object with initial size and configuration is located concentrically. After that, time T_p of person's response to moving object is calculated as arithmetic mean by formula: where t_i is i-th lag error with positive sign or advance error with negative sign, ms; n is number of tests, closed contour simultaneously with magnification of test object is reduced in diameter at specified rate, after that, reduction of closed contour diameter is stopped by "Stop" button, and after specified time closed contour of initial size is shown to tested person.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to increase technological possibilities due to determination of response time under conditions of simultaneous movement of object relative each other.
