APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MONITORING THE POSITION OF A SUBJECT'S HAND
First Claim
1. A system for delivering a touch sensitive screen task to a subject, the system comprising:
- a touch sensitive display unit for presenting visual stimuli to a subject and for providing responses of said subject to at least some of said visual stimuli;
at least one hand position monitoring unit for receiving input indicative of the position of a hand of said subject and for providing output signals representing said position; and
a controller/processor unit operatively coupled to said touch sensitive display unit and to said at least one hand position monitoring unit for receiving said output signals from said at least one hand position monitoring unit and for processing at least said output signals to control the displaying of said visual stimuli on said touch sensitive display unit.

Abstract
A system for delivering a touch sensitive screen task to a subject includes a touch sensitive display for presenting visual stimuli to a subject and for providing a response of the subject, hand position monitoring unit(s) for receiving input indicative of the position of a hand of the subject and for providing output signals representing said position and a controller/processor unit operatively coupled to the touch sensitive display unit and to the hand position monitoring unit(s) for receiving output signals from the hand position monitoring unit(s) and for processing the output signals to control the displaying of the visual stimuli on the touch sensitive display unit. A method for operating the system includes receiving from the subject signals representing a response of the subject to visual stimuli, receiving signals indicative of the position of the subject'"'"'s hand and processing the signals to control the presenting of visual stimuli.

11. A method for controlling the delivering of visual stimuli to a subject, the method comprising the steps of:
-
presenting to said subject visual stimuli on a touch sensitive display unit; receiving from said subject, through said touch sensitive display unit, signals representing responses of said subject to at least some of said visual stimuli; receiving position signals indicative of the position of a hand of said subject; and processing at least said position signals to control the timing of presenting said visual stimuli to said subject. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for controlling the delivering of visual stimuli to a subject, the method comprising the steps of:
-
presenting to said subject visual stimuli on a touch sensitive display unit; receiving from said subject, through said touch sensitive display unit, signals in response to at least some of said visual stimuli; receiving signals indicating that a hand of the subject does not block the subject'"'"'s view of said touch sensitive screen; and presenting to said user the next visual stimulus only after receiving said signals indicating that a hand of the subject does not block the subject'"'"'s view of said touch sensitive screen.
