Computer aided nystagmus analysis.

The electronystagmogram (ENG) is analyzed with the assistance of a PDP-8 minicomputer for calculating the instantaneous slope, average slope, lead frequency, lag frequency and cycle frequency of both the fast and slow wave components of the ENG. The ENG data is first digitized and displayed on a storage scope in order to permit the operator to select an epoch of data. The results are then displayed on the scope, and the mean and variance of the important parameters are outputted on the teletype. The programs include a system for storing a large library of records.
