Seeing Infantile Nystagmus Syndrome from an Engineering Eye

Cleveland, Ohio
Infantile nystagmus syndrome is an eye-movement disorder that is hypothesized to result from a high-gain instability of the slow-eye-movement system. It is characterized by involuntary movements of the eyes. This presentation will demonstrate how the application of engineering techniques and control systems modeling greatly assisted the understanding and treatment planning of infantile nystagmus. Past and recent data analysis/model simulations from our lab will be presented. Relevant anatomical findings from other labs will also be demonstrated in support of our hypothesis.
Host: Robert F. Kirsch, Ph.D.
