How do we do that? By the characterization of specific stimuli parameters such as temporal and spatial variables, in EvaLab-EyeTech we obtain specific saccadic behaviors, which may allow studying some brain functions (motor programming control, memory, target selection, volition, etc).
Our tasks
Which devices do we use? The EvaLab-EyeTech team designed the EVA system that includes a multilevel interactive stimulus tool (visual, audio, tactile, joystick, etc), a stimulus database, a gaze analysis function tool and a modeling tool for cognitive and brain function representations. This system is integrated with modern high-performing eye-tracking systems and allows to quantitatively characterize the saccadic movements.

What kind of patients do we assess? In EvaLab-EyeTech laboratory we clinically evaluate the eye-movements in a great variety of neurological disorders, characterized by specific oculomotor abnormalities.
