METHOD OF SCHIZOPHRENIA DETECTION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61B5/00 A61B3/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to the field of psychiatry, and can be used to diagnose schizophrenia. Method includes determining the time dependence of the position of the pupil A(t) while tracking the test object moving on the computer screen horizontally according to the harmonic law B(t) for the time during which the test object performs at least 10 complete oscillations. Determine time intervals τ_i, where d²A(t)/dt² differs in sign from d²B(t)/dt², where i∈[1;N], N – the number of the above time intervals, when N>3 determine the time τ_i between the starting points of the above time intervals τ_i, calculate the value of S=(Σ_iT_i/τ_i)/N, for S>5, the schizophrenia is diagnosed.

EFFECT: invention allows to determine the parameters of specific eye movements characteristic of schizophrenia, as well as to improve the accuracy of diagnosis.
