Ocular Videography System

摘要

The present invention relates to an Ocular Videography System for tracking eye movements of an animal, in particular rats, comprising a camera system suitable of being positioned on the head of an animal to track eye movements of at least one eye of the animal, a head mount on which the camera system is fixed or fixable, wherein, at least one image sensor as well as at least one decoder, for decoding a signal detected by the image sensor, each being comprised by the camera system, and wherein the camera system, and in particular a camera of the camera system, is designed in such a way that it detects a movement of the eye and/or a movement of the head of the animal in a vertical and/or horizontal and/or a torsional direction to an optical axis of the camera system and/or of the optical axis of the animal's eye without interfering with the animal's natural motion dynamics.

1. Ocular Videography System (100) for tracking eye movements of an animal, in particular rats, comprising
a camera system (1) suitable for being positioned on a head of an animal to track eye movements of at least one eye of the animal, a head mount (2) on which the camera system (1) is fixed or fixable, characterized by,at least one image sensor (3) as well as at least one decoder (4), for decoding a signal detected by the image sensor (3), each being comprised by the camera system (1), whereinthe camera system (1), and in particular a camera (11) of the camera system (1), is designed in such a way that it detects movements of the eye and/or a movement of a head of the animal in a vertical and/or horizontal and/or a torsional direction to an optical axis (5) of the camera system (1) and/or of the optical axis of the animal's eye without interfering with the animal's natural motion dynamics.
