摘要：
A method and apparatus are provided for characterizing square wave jerks inthe eye movements of a person, whichmay provide a powerful tool in the differential diagnosis of oculomotor andneurological disease. The method includes the steps of a)providing a sequence of saccades, b) identifying pairs of consecutive saccadesof the sequence, c) determining whether each saccadeof each identified pair is opposite the direction of the other saccade and, ifnot, then discarding the pair, d) determining whether amagnitude of each saccade of each identified pair is comparable and, if not,then discarding the pair, e) determining whether the pairof saccades of each identified pair are temporally related by a predeterminedtime period and, if not, then discarding the pair and f)collecting any remaining pairs of saccades as square wave jerks.
