A scheme of inference of regular grammars for the syntactic pattern recognition of saccadic eye movements

摘要

Saccadic eye movements are measured as digital signals which are then transformed to symbol strings of formal grammars. At first, saccades are identified from a digital signal by a syntactic pattern recognition technique developed earlier. Using strings we automatically infer regular grammars which can be applied to reason different types of saccades as normal, or abnormal and affected by otoneurological disorders. We have tested this scheme with some pathological saccades and found such fully automatic recognition possible at least in principle.
