PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL METHOD FOR EVALUATION OF OPERATOR WORK EFFICIENCY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B5/16 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: similar by characteristics stimuli are shown to an operator in a random order and the time of the sensomotor reaction is registered by pressing the button. Shown are different by colour and duration of glowing visual stimuli in the form of colour spots, moved by discrete positions on a screen with a neutral background with stops, and simultaneously on the current discrete position only one spot, the colour of which differs from the colour of the spot on the previous and following positions, is presented, and the duration of the spot glowing is characterised by the first and the second, increased relative to the first one, duration. The time of reaction only at the presentation of the spot with the increased duration is registered by pressing the button, corresponding to the colour of the current spot, the number of mistakes is determined, the mean arithmetic time of reaction to signals for the entire test, by which the operator work efficiency is evaluated, is registered.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to increase the reliability of determining deviations in the condition of the operator work efficiency by the reduction of the level of attention indices due to instrumental examination.
