Abstract:
A device for testing the nervous system of a person, comprising:at least a first and a second stimulation member for application in association with the person, which stimulation members are arranged to stimulate at least one sense organ of the person; a pulse generator arranged to deliver stimulation pulses (P1, P2) to at least said first and second stimulation members; a time interval adjuster for adjusting a time interval (T) at least between a stimulation pulse (P1) of the first stimulation member and a proximate stimulation pulse (P2) of the second stimulation member, wherein said time interval adjuster is arranged such that said time interval (T) is substantially continuously adjustable from a negative to a positive value and such that said time interval (T) is adjustable to a time interval where the person experiences said stimulation pulses (P1, P2) from the first and the second stimulation members as being simultaneous; a supervising unit arranged to determine said time interval (T) when adjustment with the time interval adjuster has been done to the time interval (T) where the person first experiences said stimulation pulses (P1, P2) from the first and the second stimulation members as being simultaneous; and an output generator for presenting said determined time interval (T) to a user of the device.
