  • Publication number: 20100222695
    Abstract: The present invention provides a Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential monitoring system comprising an autonomous integrated system. The integrated system comprises an output being arranged for transferring a stimulation signal via an actuator to an equilibrium organ of a person, a processing and controlling block having an integrated radio and antenna, and an array of electrodes being attachable in the vicinity of at least one muscle of said person and being arranged for recording the responsive signal and for transferring this signal to the processing and controlling block. The processing and controlling block of the integrated system is arranged for generating a stimulus, for storing and processing the recorded signals, and for sending the processed data via a WL link to a processor.

  • Publication number: 20080049187
    Abstract: A goggle based light-weight VOG system includes at least one digital camera connected to and powered by a laptop computer through a firewire connection and allows for region of interest image processing. An EOG system may be incorporated directly into a goggle base. The digital camera may digitally center the pupil in both the X and Y directions. A calibration mechanism may be incorporated onto the goggle base. The VOG system may track and record head position and goggle 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.

  • Publication number: 20070132841
    Abstract: A goggle based light-weight VOG system includes an integral calibration laser and at least one digital camera connected to and powered by a laptop computer through a firewire connection. The digital camera may digitally center the pupil in both the X and Y directions. A calibration mechanism may be incorporated onto the goggle base. An EOG system may also be incorporated directly into the goggle. The VOG system may track and record 3-D movement of the eye, track pupil dilation, head position and goggle slippage. An animated eye display provides data in a more meaningful fashion. The VOG system is a modular design whereby the same goggle frame or base is used to build a variety of digital camera VOG systems.

  • Publication number: 20070121068
    Abstract: A goggle based light-weight VOG system includes at least one digital camera connected to and powered by a laptop computer through a firewire connection together with an integral visual light stimulus source. The digital camera may digitally center the pupil in both the X and Y directions. A calibration mechanism may be incorporated onto the goggle base. An EOG system may also be incorporated directly into the goggle. The VOG system may track and record 3-D movement of the eye, track pupil dilation, head position and goggle slippage. An animated eye display provides data in a more meaningful fashion. The VOG system is a modular design whereby the same goggle frame or base is used to build a variety of digital camera VOG systems.
