Abstract :
A system has been developed for stimulation and measurement of a wide range of eye movements. Eye movements are stimulated with an LED bar or a video projector under the control of a PC. The eye movements are measured using a scleral reflection technique, and sampled and stored on a PC. Eleven tests have been developed to measure saccadic and smooth pursuit eye movements. A variety of tools have been developed to assist in the analysis of the data. Several research studies have ably demonstrated the utility and versatility of the system.
