System and method for diagnosis of brainstem disorders
First Claim
1. A system for detection of brainstem disorders in a subject comprising:
- a sound stimuli generation device;
a communication device delivering sound stimuli of said sound stimuli generation device to said subject;
an analysis device adapted to record said subject'"'"'s electrophysiological brainstem activity resulting from said sound stimuli;
a triggering device connected to said sound stimuli generation device, said triggering device sending a triggering signal to said analysis device substantially simultaneously to the delivering of said sound stimuli to said subject;
wherein said system further comprises a program and wherein said program causes said sound stimuli generation device to generate multiple sound stimuli tests.

Abstract
A system and method for detection of a brainstem disorder, such as schizophrenia, using brainstem audiometry, is disclosed. A subject'"'"'s (4) responses on the physical properties of sound, such as frequency, time and amplitude, are being detected. Sound stimuli are being presented, via a communication element (2) through a hearing organ (3) to the subject. Elements (7) are attached to the subject (4) for measurement of the subject'"'"'s electrophysiological brain activity. Simultaneously as the mentioned sound stimuli (1) are presented to the subject (4) a trig signal is sent out from the organ for generation of stimuli (1), via a trig box (5), further to an organ for registration (6) of the electrophysiological brain activity in the subject (4), whereafter the electrophysiological brain activity is stored and imaged in computer equipment (8) for determination of a brainstem disorder in the subject.
