ANALOG NYSTAGMUS ANALYZER

Abstract

Rapid to-and-fro movements of the eye are classified as nystagmus. This movement is usually the consequence of reflex excitation of the extra ocular muscles associated with stimulation of the semicircular canals. An analog nystagmus analyzer is described that can produce continuous information concerning the duration, amplitude and slow-phase velocity of each nystagmic beat during experiments involving the vestibular apparatus.
