    Abstract: The working quality of the human brain is measured with this method and apparatus (10) by determining the highest frequency at which a subject can discriminate between synchronous and asynchronous pairs of two simultaneously presented periodic non-verbal stimuli: the higher this frequency (synchronism threshold), the faster the brain of the subject can process information using the sensory function tested. The periodic stimuli provided to the subject and preceded by appropriate mask stimuli may be pairs of visual, tactile, electrocutaneous, and/or auditory stimuli within the same sense modality, or intermodal between two different senses. The apparatus (10) generates the stimuli and indicates the nominal frequencies of the stimuli and threshold. The frequency threshold is determined by means of an adaptive staircase procedure in which the frequency is decreased after wrong responses and increased after correct responses.

    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for testing and evaluating of a person's dexterity, range of motion, and dynamic lifting ability includes methods for evaluating the wrist and hand range of motion by requiring the person to move his wrist through the normal range of motions, including flexion, extension, pronation, and supination. The dexterity tester (50) is mounted on each shelf (32, 34) and on the mounting bracket (30) in turn so that the person undergoes the same test and evaluation at each of three working heights: (1) elbow height, (2) overhead height, and (3) knee height, providing a functional assessment of dexterity and range of motion of the person's entire musculoskeletal system. The lifting ability testing includes both an upper body lifting evaluation (to shoulder height) and a lower body lifting evaluation (to carry height). Each of the two evaluations is tested independently.

    Abstract: In a device to test a person's attention or concentration ability, a series of digits is read out at a pre-determined, alterable speed by a speech recorder (62) and delivered by a speech generator (66) to headphones (10). The subject must press a button (16) every time a target (e.g. '0') is heard. Also every time a '0' is heard, a control unit (50) produces a window signal which is connected by an error logic circuit (70) to the key-press impulse. If the reaction is correct, the key-press impulse will be within the time window, and a counter (74) will accordingly increase the number of the 'score'. Any key-press impulse falling outside the time window is an omission error to be counted by another counter (75). The counter status is then analyzed to calculate an error index (IE).
