Abstract
Fixational eye movement may be analyzed to determine one or more characteristics thereof. Exemplary characteristics include measurements of microsaccade and drift measurement. These measurements may be correlated to a value for a diagnostic indicator for a neurological disorder or disease. These correlations may be used to diagnose, monitor, and prognosticate neurological disorders without administration of traditionally used neurological function tests or analysis of biological samples by which the diagnostic indicators are typically determined.
Claims27
A method, comprising:
- receiving a microsaccade and drift measurement;
- and
- determining an estimate of a value for a diagnostic indicator of a neurological disease based on the microsaccade and drift measurement using a neurological disease model that correlates microsaccade measurements with a value for a diagnostic indicator of the neurological disease.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a characteristic of a user's fixational eye motion;
- determining a value of a diagnostic indicator of a user's neurological health responsively to the received characteristic;
- and
- facilitating provision of the value of the diagnostic indicator to an operator.
