Automatic analysis of electro-oculographic (EOG) recordings. Application to audio-vestibular diagnosis

An automatic, computerized system for analysis of the ocular movements in nystagmus, slow pursuit and saccades is presented. The performance of the system has been tested in healthy subjects, as well as in patients with peripheral or brainstem audio-vestibular disorders. The automatized procedure enables an extended application of opto-motor tests in the clinical examination of patients with suspected retrocochlear and brainstem involvement.
