Evaluating low-cost eye movement recording apparatuses for effective student practice

抄録

Electrophysiological recordings of eye movement are important for the discipline of orthoptics not only in clinical evaluation of visual function but also for understanding the properties of visuomotor coordination. Therefore, low-cost visual stimulators with real-time output of current stimulation status are required for effective student practice. In this report, three types of stimulators were tested for recording saccadic and pursuit eye movements and optokinetic nystagmus in electrooculography practice. These stimulators were built with low-cost, general-purpose parts and might improve the student training courses for certified orthoptists, a specialty that requires thorough knowledge of the complex properties of various human eye movements.
