Abstract
A computerized electro-oculographic (CEOG) system with feedback control of test stimuli comprises an integrated system for automated administration of electro-oculographic tests and visual evoked response tests to a patient, automated processing of the results derived from such tests, and automated feedback control of the test stimuli in accordance with the processed test results. The CEOG system is responsive to operator selection of desired stimuli to be administered, as well as to operator specification of various test stimuli characteristics, for automatically administering to the patient the test stimuli having the desired characteristics. Electrode test data derived therefrom are immediately recorded on-line, and are immediately and automatically analyzed to provide critical information for immediate display in acceptable format and in a very short period of time. The integrated CEOG system is especially noteworthy for its use of the analyzed test data to control and vary the test stimuli administered to the patient in accordance with the analyzed tests data results.
