Analysis of saccadic eye movements with a microcomputer. 1986

M Juhola, and V Jäntti, and E Aantaa

This analysis of saccadic eye movements has found use in clinical diagnosis. Saccades are induced by a microcomputer-controlled TV stimulator and are recorded by electro-oculography. The analysis algorithm detects saccades by the velocity profile of eye position and then computes the principal saccadic parameters, peak velocity and amplitude. In addition, the saccades are presented on the VDU screen, together with the computed results of the analysis; they may be edited if necessary. The programs have been implemented in Pascal and Assembler languages.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008838	Microcomputers	Small computers using LSI (large-scale integration) microprocessor chips as the CPU (central processing unit) and semiconductor memories for compact, inexpensive storage of program instructions and data. They are smaller and less expensive than minicomputers and are usually built into a dedicated system where they are optimized for a particular application. "Microprocessor" may refer to just the CPU or the entire microcomputer.	Computers, Personal,Microprocessors,Computer, Personal,Microcomputer,Microprocessor,Personal Computer,Personal Computers
