VEST 6.8 Release Notes

The operator can now analyze eye tracings in both Position and Velocity modes. This new multi‐dimensional analysis has helped us develop novel means of quantifying pursuit performance. The new “Percent Saccade” calculation provides a quantified measure of the amount of saccadic eye movement during tracking. Test analyses now provide an enhanced graphical data representation. This new display provides a faster and easier means of visualizing performance. The analysis for this test has been simplified in order to make testing more efficient and easier to use. Drag and Drop cursors allow the operator to quickly define the beginning and end of eye data for each segment. The operator may now accept the peak velocity beat automatic

Both of these analysis types have been modified to provide clinicians with even more relevant data. Vertical and Torsional eye tracings may now be analyzed, and each data channel has an independent results section. In addition, the user has been provided with the option to accept the peak velocity beat automatically defined by VESTTM for each fixation‐on and fixation‐off segment or manually define the peak beat. Clinicians can now easily choose which saccades to include in analysis calculations. Clinicians can easily ...

The new acceleration‐based beat detection is substantially more sensitive when defining low‐amplitude fast phase segments. The algorithm is accompanied with easier to use filter settings, which simplifies analysis and more accurately defines beats (available on Smooth Pursuit, Gaze, Spontaneous Nystagmus, and Chair Trapezoidal Rotation). • We have simplified the method for setting default filter settings for each test. A new graphical interface allows the user to overwrite or restore customer defined default values for a given ...
