Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to the first methods and systems for diagnosing a patient being affected by a brain injury from a blast with greater accuracy that previous methods. The methods and system include an automated, non-invasive method for assessing the variance of a patient's ocular motility relative to a matched cohort of unaffected subjects, and using the variance in one or more ocular motility metrics to calculate a score that indicates a likelihood that the patient suffers from a blast brain injury. The score, referred to as a BIS, discriminates between affected an unaffected subjects with a sensitivity of greater than about 85%, a specificity of greater than 75%. The ROCAUC of the BIS is greater than 0.85.
