    Spectral Analysis of Pendular Waveforms in Congenital Nystagmus

    We analyzed quantitatively electronystagmographic recordings of pendular waveforms via spectral analysis methods. We found (1) symmetrical pendular oscillations in orbital positions spanning a range as wide as 40°, with frequencies between 2 and 8 Hz; (2) stable and small pendular oscillations in patients without a null zone and unstable and large pendular oscillations in patients with a neutral zone; (3) a non-decreasing relationship between the amplitude and the frequency of the eye oscillations, and (4) pendular components in orbital positions at the two sides of a neutral zone. It is argued that pendular nystagmus can be generated independently of normal (jerk) nystagmus in the same orbital position

    Computer-analysis of Eng Spectral Features From Patients With Congenital Nystagmus

    Power spectral estimation,from electronystagmographic recording of eye position is proposed as a simple digital processing method to quantify both the amplitude and the frequency features of eye motion in patients affected by the oculomotor disorder of congenital nystagmus (CN). Di$erent basic wave shapes clinically identified and studied in the literature are shown to have slightly different power .spectra, which ran be used to characterize the CN disorder from nystagmus waveforms. This treatment, statistical in nature, does not depend strongly on the detailed structure of each recorded wave shape, thus emphasizing that accurate descriptive analysis of all patient’s waveforms characteristics adds little to the comprehension of CN. We show that the power spectral estimation also represents a useful tool in modelling both the CN defect and the non-defective oculomotor Jystem, and in assessing the effect of the surgical treatment of CN through the differences in the power spectra before and after surgery

    The Backus-Gilbert Inversion Method and the Processing of Sampled Data

    No full text
    The Backus-Gilbert (BG) method is an inversion method for solving integral equations. We show that, given a set of idealized delta-function kernels in the BG formalism, it is possible to derive an interpolation formula for a band-limited function very closely comparable with the perfect interpolation formula given by the Shannon theorem

    Amount of Surgery in Congenital Nystagmus

    No full text
    By analyzing the clinical data on the amount of surgery on the extraocular muscles and resulting angular shift of the null zone in 24 patients with congenital nystagmus, a linear dependence was found to exist between these two variables. Hence, the amount of surgery can be confidently established in advance of treatment in order to obtain the shift of the null zone. Many cases of partial surgical successes are discussed and explained a posteriori by a lack of a proper amount of surgical rotation
