ABSTRACT:
A vision and hand/eye coordination testing machine includes a front panel sub-divided into a grid-like array. Each array position is either a lamp position or a dummy position, the two being visually indistinguishable. Panel lamps are illuminated in one of three alternative modes, namely: a pursuit mode wherein lamps are illuminated according to a prescribed continuous pattern and the subject must follow the pattern by moving his/her eyes; a saccadic hand/eye mode wherein the subject focuses on a centrally located alternating fixator lamp and actuates a switch at array lamp positions; and a second hand/eye mode, similar to the saccadic mode, but the fixator lamp remains off. Timely switch actuations are counted and actuate respective indicators in a remote monitoring unit. In both hand/eye modes the lamps are illuminated in a random or other sequence unrelated to lamp position. A separate linear array of lamps is used in a fourth or sports mode in which the lamps extend toward the subject from the housing and are momentarily illuminated in sequence to simulate a ball moving toward the subject. The last lamp in the sequence is encapsulated in a bumper and may be struck with a hand, foot or instrument to effect a switch closure that is monitored relative to the time of illumination of the last lamp. The repetition rate of lamp illumination in all modes is adjustable.
