Patent number: 8764193Abstract: A video oculography system for calculation and display of Corrective Secondary Saccades Analysis is disclosed. A method for Objective Diagnostics of at least one of traumatic brain injury, Internuclear Opthalmopligia, Ocular Lateral Pulsion, Progressive Supernuclear Palsy And Glissades comprises the steps of using a VOG system to calculate corrective saccades. The video oculography based system for the subject is configured to collect eye images of the patient in excess of 60 hz and configured to resolve eye movements smaller than at least 3 degrees of motion. The video oculography based system collects eye movement data wherein at least one fixation target is presented to the subject in a defined position configured to yield a voluntary saccadic eye response from at least one eye of the patient. The latency, amplitude, accuracy and velocity of each respective corrective saccade and totals latency and accuracy is calculated.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2011Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Neuro KineticsInventors: Alexander D Kiderman, Yakov Eydelman, Terri Evelyn Ives

Patent number: 8585609Abstract: A portable virtual reality device is disclosed that will facilitate the effective and efficient screening for TBI in military personnel in forward deployed military settings or remote locations using minimally trained staff. This includes the establishment of a protocol that will provide cost effective pre-screening of military personnel prior to deployment to establish a baseline of brain function prior to possible future injury. The efficiency of the device will promote subsequent follow-up screening to assess the effectiveness of prescribed TBI treatment. Further protocols for diagnosis and rehabilitation applications using the same virtual reality portable device will allow more advanced usage for clinicians providing ongoing evaluation and treatment.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2009Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Neuro Kinetics, Inc.Inventors: Alexander D Kiderman, Howison Schroeder, Thomas Joos, Greg Frank

Publication number: 20130033677Abstract: A high speed pupil dilation tracking can be incorporated into a light-weight VOG system which includes at least one digital camera connected to and powered by a laptop computer through a firewire connection. An EOG system may be incorporated directly into a VOG system base. The digital camera may digitally center the pupil in both the X and Y directions. A calibration mechanism may be incorporated onto the VOG system base. The VOG system may track and record head position and VOG system base slippage. An animated eye display may provide data in a more meaningful fashion. The VOG system may be a modular design whereby the same goggle frame or base is used to build a variety of digital camera VOG systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2012Publication date: February 7, 2013Applicant: Neuro Kinetics, Inc.Inventors: Hamish G. MacDougall, Alexander D. Kiderman, John Howison Schroeder, Thomas C. Joos, Floris L. Wuyts, Steven T. Moore

Patent number: 8333472Abstract: The above objects are achieved with a compact neuro-otologic testing device and method of utilizing the same according to the present invention. The device according to the present invention provides an image producing laser with a right hand, servo controlled galvanometric based XY interface. The high quality closed loop servo control system that can drive the target (i.e. the laser image) in excess of 1,000,000 degrees/second2 and at velocities in excess of 12000 degrees/second. The bandwidth of the XY interface is greater than 400 Hz, providing high image reproducibility. The repeatability and position accuracy of the target is +?3 arc-seconds and the field of range of the XY interface are about 60 degrees (i.e. about 60 degrees horizontal and 60 degrees vertical).Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2005Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Neuro KineticsInventor: Alexander D.
