Abstract
A timing assessment tool (12) is provided that is manipulatable by a user (8) in response to the user'"'"'s expected occurrence of a rhythmic reference signal. The timing assessment tool derives a rhythmic assessment from a pattern of user responses to the user'"'"'s expected occurrence of the rhythmic reference signal. An analyzer (14), which may include a database (30), is provided to respond to the rhythmic assessment to indicate a diagnosis and/or corrective intervention,

25. A diagnostic apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one user operative trigger;
a control generating a reference signal having occurrences separated by predetermined time intervals, said control measuring a temporal relationship between user manipulation of said trigger and occurrences of said reference signal and determining a pattern of the temporal relationships; and
a database comprising a plurality of said patterns of temporal relationships and diagnosis or corrective interventions relating to the temporal relationships;
wherein said control applies the pattern of temporal relationships to said database. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

45. A method of determining a diagnosis or a corrective intervention for a person having a neurological conflict, comprising:
-
providing a database of rhythmic assessments and diagnosis or corrective interventions;
measuring a pattern of user responses to expected occurrences of a rhythmic reference signal and determining a rhythmic assessment for that user from the pattern of user responses oft that user; and
applying the rhythmic assessment of that user to the database and retrieving a diagnosis or a corrective intervention from said database. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62)
