Background:

Vestibular nystagmus evaluation is crucial for diagnosing neurological and ophthalmological disorders.
Traditional analysis of electroencephalogram (ENG) tracings can be time-consuming and challenging, especially with pathological or noisy data.
Existing computer-aided methods may lack the flexibility for real-time clinical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an interactive computer program for the clinical and research evaluation of vestibular nystagmus.
To enhance the accuracy and efficiency of analyzing electroencephalogram (ENG) tracings, even those with irregular or noisy data.
To integrate computer processing capabilities with the critical judgment of clinical experts.

Main Methods:

Development of an interactive software program for vestibular nystagmus analysis.
Implementation on a general-purpose minicomputer, requiring no specialized technical training.
Detailed discussion of the program's structure and the operations of its main subsystems.
Processing of example electroencephalogram (ENG) tracings to demonstrate program functionality.

Main Results:

The interactive program facilitates immediate clinical decisions regarding nystagmogram interpretation.
Noisy and irregular ENG tracings from pathological subjects can be processed effectively.
The system successfully combines computational speed and accuracy with clinical expertise.
User-friendly implementation requires no specific technical training.

Conclusions:

The developed interactive program offers a significant advancement in the evaluation of vestibular nystagmus.
It enhances diagnostic capabilities by improving the processing of challenging ENG tracings.
The program represents an effective integration of technology and clinical expertise for improved patient care.
