Method and system for an automated e.e.g. system for auditory evoked responses
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A screening device, comprising:
- a frame shaped to be engageable to a head between a reference location, at least one ear and a signal detection location;
a reference electrode attached to the frame at the reference location;
a signal electrode attached to the frame at the auditory processing location;
an auditory signal producer positioned by the frame over the ear; and
an auditory evoked response (AER) data processor operably configured to initiate an auditory signal from the auditory signal producer and to perform a signal processing operation on an AER signal sensed across the reference and signal electrodes.

Abstract
A dyslexia screening test system suitable for clinical use includes an integrated headset that efficiently and conveniently performs an auditory evoked response (AER) test by positioning electrodes about the ears of the subject. An integral control module automatically performs the test, providing simplified controls and indications to the clinician. A number of screening tests that are stored in the headset are periodically uploaded for billing, remote analysis and result reporting.
