METHOD FOR DETERMINING OCCUPATIONAL GUIDANCE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/16 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: current normal baseline physiological parameters of a person being tested are recorded by means of a polygraph. Visual information associated with human personalities, including a set of stimuli presented to the person being tested is pre-selected. To assess an individual semantic space of the person being tested, the latter is suggested to select the significant visual information from the set of stimuli to be assessed and distributed among the stimuli pre-selected by means of psychosemantic and factor analysis. A database for the following ranging of the selected stimuli is formed from the selected stimuli distributed by a sematic differential, and also extra control and neutral stimuli. The person being tested is presented with 6-8 stimuli together with the control and neutral stimuli on a demonstration monitor of an eye motion recording device to assess the subjective significance of the selected stimuli. An eye position, motion, a path of motion and fixation length is recorded; zones of preferential passive concentration fixation are recorded. The derived data are analysed to select a primary gaze zone and to determine a gaze length. The stimuli drawing much attention are determined; when presenting the selected stimuli on the screen of the eye motion recording device, synchronous measurements of the physiological parameters of the person being tested are taken by using the polygraph. The physiological parameter variations of the person being tested are assessed by excursion of their current values from the pre-recorded baseline values. The physiological parameter variations of the person being tested specific for perceiving the subjectively significant information and being simultaneous with the primary gaze moments; the stimuli having the most emotional impact on the person being tested are determined.

EFFECT: method enables determining the occupational guidance and providing the accuracy of the obtained data by the psychophysiological study.
