METHOD AND ASSOCIATED APPARATUS FOR DETECTING MINOR TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

摘要

Minor traumatic brain injury is detected by operating (a) an image generator for presenting a visual stimulus having a predetermined movement across a visual field of a subject and (b) a sensor device for monitoring fast eye movement of the subject while the subject views the stimulus. The sensor device generates a signal encoding the subject's eye position. A computer or microprocessor operatively connected to the sensor device is configured for determining a magnitude for the fast eye velocity component.
