Published: — with international search report (Art. 21(3)) (54) Title: EYE SENSOR, SYSTEM AND METHOD (57) : An eye sensor (1), system and method for measuring fixational eye movements of an individual's eyeball (e.g., ocular microtremors and microsaccades) to provide a variable voltage biosignal for measuring the individual's brain stem activity. The eye sensor (1) comprises a sensor (16) mounted on the individual's closed or opened eyelid so as to be deflected by the fixational eye movements of the eyeball. A shielded flexible ribbon (5) assembly supplies the biosignal generated by the sensor (16) to an amplifier (3) located on the individual's skin where the biosignal is amplified. The amplifier (3) is interconnected with a signal processor and a display by which graphical and numerical representations of the biosignal are made accessible to an anesthesiologist, intensivist or clinician. A method for analyzing the biosignal to determine the brainstem activity of a patient. 11111111111111011101111111111101011111011101011111111111111111011111111111111110111111
