Use of a discrete electro-oculographic control system with and without oscillatory motion of the head

Abstract

The effectiveness of the discrete electrooculographic control system (DECS) and various methods of its use are studied. This device utilizes the dipole present in the eye to emulate a standard computer input device. Initial tests of the DECS system parameters show that this device may be useful as an input device for persons with some degree of uncontrollable vibration when resting or moving. Though somewhat cumbersome in comparison to a conventional joystick or mouse, the DECS is a novel input device for any user.<>
