Abstract: Objects of interest which project beyond the fovea are poorly resolved and lack color information, requiring movement of the eyes in order to obtain a comprehensive image and perception of the surrounding world. Eye movements emanate from different areas of the brain which can be affected by disease and or injury. As such, different neurological disorders will affect a myriad of eye movements in a variety of different ways. An automated system and method, capable of detecting, analyzing and summarizing a person's eye movements is used to detect (diagnose) (either before or after symptoms of said neurological disease are apparent), confirm a prior diagnosis, and/or to monitor the treatment effectiveness for a variety of neurological diseases, neurological movement disorders and potential brain injuries. The analyzed and summarized eye movements are cataloged, interpreted and utilized in a diagnostic matrix in order to highlight and distinguish abnormal eye movements, and to provide an objective clinical or pre-clinical/pre-symptomatic diagnosis based on the non-invasive testing procedures.

Abstract translation: 在中央凹以外突出的感兴趣的物体解决不了，缺乏颜色信息，需要眼睛的移动，以获得对周围世界的全面的形象和看法。 眼睛运动发生在脑部不同的区域，可能受到疾病和/或伤害的影响。 因此，不同的神经系统疾病将以各种不同的方式影响无数的眼睛运动。 使用能够检测，分析和总结人的眼睛运动的自动化系统和方法来检测（诊断）（在所述神经疾病的症状之前或之后是明显的），确认先前的诊断和/或监视治疗 各种神经疾病，神经运动障碍和潜在脑损伤的有效性。 分析和总结的眼睛运动在诊断矩阵中进行编目，解释和使用，以突出和区分异常眼睛运动，并提供基于非侵入性测试程序的客观临床或临床前/症状前诊断。
