Neuroscience
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Ocular microtremor (OMT) is the least researched of the involuntary micro eye movements.
OMT's connection to brain function suggests its potential as a biomarker for neurological conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

To review existing research on OMT, focusing on measurement techniques, outcomes, and populations studied.
To identify needs and recommendations for future OMT research and clinical applications.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of electronic databases.
Screening of 216 articles against inclusion criteria, with 16 articles included for final review.

Main Results:

Piezoelectric probes are the most common OMT measurement method; non-invasive techniques are less common.
OMT frequency decreases during general anesthesia and in neurologically impaired individuals compared to healthy adults.

Conclusions:

There is a need for non-invasive OMT measurement techniques for clinical use.
Further research is required to validate OMT as an objective biomarker for neurological assessments, focusing on accuracy, precision, and reliability.
