Abstract
A system and method for neurobehavioral testing, including eyeblink conditioning and prepulse inhibition, without air puffs, that utilizes an electronic device with a light source, a camera, and a speaker, and makes assessments based on the degree to which an eyelid is closed after a user is exposed to conditional and unconditional stimuli.
Claims12
A device for eyeblink conditioning without air puffs, comprising one or more processors configured with instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
- at a first point in time, cause a speaker to start emitting a sound;
- b. at a second point in time, cause a light source to start emitting light, where the second point in time follows the first point in time after a fixed delay interval;
- c. at a third point in time, cause the speaker to stop emitting the sound and cause the light source to stop emitting light, the third point in time being after the second point in time;
- d. receive one or more first images of at least one eye from a camera while the speaker is emitting a sound and the light source is not emitting light;
- e. receive one or more second images of the at least one eye from the camera while the speaker is emitting a sound and the light source is emitting light;
- and
- f. determine a degree of openness of the at least one eye in each of the one or more first images and the one or more second images.
