SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AUDITORY STARTLE RESPONSE

摘要

A diagnostic system is used for measuring and analyzing startle response of a subject for diagnosis of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) such as concussions. The diagnostic system includes a stimuli delivery circuitry, whereby startle stimuli are delivered to the subject. The diagnostic system comprises at least one sensor circuitry, whereby the startle response of the subject are detected and recorded. The sensor circuitry comprises at least one muscle startle response measuring means, and said diagnostic system comprises a diagnosis circuitry whereby the features of the startle response are extracted and analyzed.
