Abstract
Flicks in one or both of eyes are measured by a sensor (1) employing a limbus reflection method. An output of the sensor is applied to and digitized by an A/D converter (2). The digitized output is applied to a computer (3). The computer calculates flicks data of eyeballs, then calculates fractal dimension simultaneously or individually in a time-elapsed manner or for a definite time period, and quantifies characteristics of the eyeball control systems from the value of the fractal dimension or the time dependence of the fractal dimension.
