On automatic diagnosis of pathological saccadic eye movements.
A syntactic technique is described for the recognition of saccadic eye movements to distinguish normal saccades from those distorted by brain stem lesions. A digitalized eye movement signal is transformed into a sequence of symbols. Eye movements are then found from this sequence by using a parser. This recognition method appropriately enlarged could be applied as a classifier of saccades to aid in diagnosis.
