Title:
METHOD FOR EVALUATION OF THE COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE OF A PERSON AND EQUIPMENT FOR CARRYING OUT SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/142882
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Method and equipment for the evaluation of the cognitive performance of a person. This way, cognitive and attentional functions are evaluated from the records of the eye movements during the reading of a set of sentences which are well defined and specially designed to that end. In such method, a person is asked to process consecutive visual stimuli (2) while the eye fixation coordinates are recorded and taped (3). Then, such coordinates are sent to a processing module (4) and the acquired information is modelled. Markers for cognitive performance of the person are derived from this modelling as well as from the control group corresponding to the person's age and educational level.
