Abstract
The visual search test makes it possible to establish a parameter for binocular coordination that is useful for detecting an oculomotor abnormality, in particular in the context of detecting dyslexia. A system for assisting in the detection is also described.
Claims18
Visual search test for establishing a parameter of binocular coordination in a subject, comprising the following steps:
- setting the subject a visual search task for occurrences of a symbol within a succession of symbols;
- during said task, recording the movements of the subject's two eyes using a device for tracking eye movements;
- then
- determining, using a digital processing device, the value of at least one parameter of binocular coordination from the recordings obtained.

System for assisting the detection of an oculomotor abnormality in a subject by a visual search test, comprising:
- a testing module for setting the subject a visual search task for occurrences of a symbol within a succession of symbols;
- a module for tracking eye movements configured for recording, during said task, the movements of the subject's two eyes;
- a digital processing module configured for determining the value of at least one parameter of binocular coordination from the recordings;
- a module for comparing the value determined with at least one threshold value so as to determine an oculomotor abnormality.
