Abstract
A pupilometer having image capturing means, illumination means generating and emitting light of a first wavelength, stimulation means generating and emitting light of a second wavelength, and image processing software. The image processing software receives data from the image capturing means, identifies a pupil's dynamic response to light generated by the stimulation means, analyzes one or more components of the pupil's dynamic response, and produces an output comprising a value indicative of a neurological condition of a patient.
