A COMPARISON OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC CALIBRATION TECHNIQUES FOR THE VESTIBULOOCULAR REFLEX SIGNAL

We investigated two calibration techniques commonly used with eye move ment signals pertaining to the vestibulo-ocular reflex. Eye movement s ignals were recorded electro-oculographically as usual and calibrated using both static and dynamic calibration techniques. The calibration values of normals and patients were computed and compared to each othe r. Also gain parameters of vestibule-ocular reflex which depend on the calibration were computed. We found that both techniques are chiefly equally valid, and there are no considerable differences in results co mputed with either one.
