Abstract
A digital virtual chiasm apparatus for controlled stimulation of visual cortices, which contains an eye tracker, a digital computer, and a display device. The apparatus is capable of generating a first set of stimuli in a first half visual field while simultaneously generating a second set of stimuli in second, contralateral half visual field and a boundary between said first half visual field and said second half visual field. It is also capable of moving the boundary between the first half visual field and the second half visual field in response to eye movement of the subject.
Claims18
A digital virtual chiasm apparatus for controlled stimulation of visual cortices, wherein said apparatus comprises a means for tracking the eye movement of a subject, a digital computer operatively connected to said means for tracking the eye movement of a subject, a display operatively connected to said digital computer, means for generating a first set of stimuli in a first half visual field while simultaneously generating a second set of stimuli in second, contralateral half visual field and a boundary between said first half visual field and said second half visual field, and means for moving said boundary between said first half visual field and said second half visual field in response to the eye movement of said subject.
A process for providing controlled stimulation of visual cortices, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing an apparatus comprising us comprises a means for tracking the eye movement of a subject, a digital computer operatively connected to said means for tracking the eye movement of a subject, and a display operatively connected to said digital computer,
- (b) generating a first set of stimuli in a first half visual field while simultaneously generating a second set of stimuli in second, contralateral half visual field and a boundary between said first half visual field and said second half visual field, and
- (c) moving said boundary between said first half visual field and said second half visual field in response to the eye movement of said subject.
