Abstract

A computer program is disclosed for performing the following method: recording images of a response of a left pupil to a stimulus thereby resulting in a first set of sequential images; recording images of a response of a right pupil to the same stimulus at the same time as the first images were recorded, thereby resulting in a second set of sequential images; displaying on a display simultaneously the first set of images and the second set of image, wherein the two sets of images are synchronized, and wherein a center of the left pupil of each image from the first set of sequential images is aligned with a center of the right pupil from the second set of sequential images on the display.

Claims (9)

1. A program product comprising: a computer-readable medium; and computer-executable instructions recorded on the computer-readable medium for performing a method comprising:

recording images of a left pupil responding to a first flash of light of a predetermined intensity and duration, thereby resulting in a first set of sequential image frames;

recording images of a right pupil responding to a second flash of light of said predetermined intensity and duration, thereby resulting in a second set of sequential image frames; and

displaying on a display simultaneously the first set of image frames and the second set of image frames,

wherein the first and second flashes of light occur at different times,

wherein the two sets of image frames are synchronized per frame on the display, and

wherein a center of the left pupil of each image from the first set of sequential images is aligned with a center of the right pupil from the second set of sequential images on the display.

2. The program product of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions for performing a method further comprise generating a pair of parallel lines that extend from the perimeter of the left pupil to the perimeter of the right pupil in each image, the parallel lines having a first section and a second section, wherein in the first section the distance between the parallel lines is defined by the diameter of the left pupil for each image and in the second section the distance between the parallel lines is defined by the diameter of the right pupil for each image.

3. The program product of claim 2 , wherein the color of the parallel lines in the first section is different from the color of the parallel lines in the second section.
