Abstract

A method of automated measurement of the EOG amplitude is described. Its main advantages are as follows:

  1. 1.

    The mean of amplitudes, at a series of time dots within a single EOG deflection recorded with DC-amplification, are automatically measured and printed out.

  2. 2.

    Artifacts due to blinks, overshoots or other irregular eye movements are automatically eliminated.

  3. 3.

    A base line drift is automatically compensated.

The L/D ratios obtained in 80 eyes with this method were essentially equal to those obtained by a manual measurement (correlation coefficient 0.9905).
