[Saccadic automatism in babies during rapid sleep].

Characteristics of rapid eye movements (saccades) in babies (six babies of 1-8 months age) recorded by electrooculography method in paradoxical phase of sleep are analyzed in comparison with analogous data in adults during sleep and in alertness in various conditions of eye movements recording. Coincidence of distribution curves of intersaccadic intervals and amplitudes of saccades in babies and adults is revealed. It is also found that the most frequently met intervals (in the range up to 1 s) in sleep and wakefulness are of comparable values 71.5-90.5%. On the basis of the obtained data the suggestion is made about automation of saccades, forming the base of saccadic activity and manifested in babies and adults during sleep and also in wakefulness, against the background of which other kinds of oculomotor activity are realized. Automation of saccades is formed in early ontogenesis.

[Automatic devices for testing field of vision].

Prototypes of two automated devices for visual field research on the basis of a computer: visual field analyser (automated perimeter) and the device for detection of scotomas in the central visual field (automated campimeter)--are described.

[Automation of mass screening for glaucoma].

An experimental model (mock-up) of automated complex "Glaucoma" has been produced for mass population screening. It comprises five ophthalmologic instruments: for history data collection; for visual acuity examining; for examining the visual fields limits (perimeter); for determination of paracentral sites within visual field (campimeter), and finally a device for intraocular tension measurement. A special computer serves to control the operation of these instruments, collection, processing and display of information. A set including magnetic recorder, projector and synchronizer provides instructions for patients. The latter were examined following special lecture explaining the purpose of investigation, operation rules for these instruments and sequence of procedures.
