Computerized electro-oculographic (CEOG) system with feedback control of stimuli
First Claim
1. An integrated medical testing system for automatically administering test stimuli to a patient, and for automatically varying said test stimuli in accordance with processed test results, comprising:
- stimulation control means for automatically administering said test stimuli to said patient;
deriving means for connection to said patient for deriving test data from the patient as a result of the reaction of the patient to said test stimuli; and
processor means connected to said deriving means for processing said derived test data to develop processed test results, and for generating stimulation control signals in accordance therewith wherein said processor means includes a analyzing means which is input with said derived test data and which analyzes said derived test data in accordance with a medical diagnostic testing procedure in order to provide said processed test results;
said stimulation control means being connected to said processor means for receiving said stimulation control signals, and being responsive thereto for varying said test stimuli administered to said patient in accordance therewith.

Abstract
A computerized electro-oculographic (CEOG) system with feedback control of test stimuli comprises an integrated system for automated administration of electro-oculographic tests and visual evoked response tests to a patient, automated processing of the results derived from such tests, and automated feedback control of the test stimuli in accordance with the processed test results. The CEOG system is responsive to operator selection of desired stimuli to be administered, as well as to operator specification of various test stimuli characteristics, for automatically administering to the patient the test stimuli having the desired characteristics. Electrode test data derived therefrom are immediately recorded on-line, and are immediately and automatically analyzed to provide critical information for immediate display in acceptable format and in a very short period of time. The integrated CEOG system is especially noteworthy for its use of the analyzed test data to control and vary the test stimuli administered to the patient in accordance with the analyzed tests data results.
