Algorithm for analyses of saccadic eye movements using a digital computer.

An algorithm for digital computer analyses of electro-oculographically recorded saccardic eye movements is presented. From a brief, 4-min recording session detailed statistical information about saccade velocity, accuracy, and delay time can be obtained. Since this data is not significantly altered by practice of motivational factors, it provides a sensitive functional test of the extra-ocular muscles and their brain control system.
