Measuring Ocular Microtremor
The Brainstem
• Has 3
components
• 4 cranial nerves
on each section
Assessing Brainstem Activity
• “High Tech”
 BIS Technology
 Expensive (sensors & trained technicians)
 Can’t use if swelling from head injuries
 Glasgow Coma Scale
• “Low Tech”
 Cranial Nerves
Unconscious Patients
Very uncomfortable procedures to
assess intactness of cranial nerves

Flush 60 oz. of ice cold water in ear
Ocular Microtremors (OMT)
 OMT have been shown in clinical studies to
accurately reflect brainstem activity
 Ocular motor nerves originate in the
brainstem where sensory signals are preprocessed and sent to the cerebrum
 Oculo-motor nerves originate in the
brainstem
 These signals are necessary for consciousness

XRAM
OMT Sensor
 Composed of a piezoelectric transducer, and a surface
mount IC amplifier
 The sensor generates voltage when it undergoes stress,
in this case eye movement
 The piezoelectric transducer was designed to be really
sensitive to slight amounts of stress
Power Management
 The current “Blackbox” is powered by a medical grade
power supply which provides ±12V for the sensor, and
5V for the processing unit
 The Atmel AVR32 processor has a maximum voltage
rating of 3.6V
 The interface module to the bedside monitor will be
powered by the monitor itself
Power Management continued
 Originally the bedside monitor was going to be used to
power both the processor and sensor
 Power options
 Dual PS/2 – output voltage 5V ±10%
 Dual MIB/RS232 – output voltage 5V ±5%
 USB 2.0 – low power mode, output voltage 4.4V
 It is more convenient to construct our own custom
power supply that is capable of powering both the
sensor and processor

Sampling
 Sampling will be interrupt
driven, and will continue until a
XRAM
buffer a buffer is filled. Buffer
must be large enough for an
adequate analysis of signal.

DSP algorithm will be started on
the signal and sampling will
continue to a secondary buffer of
equal size. Sampling and DSP
will alternate between buffers so
no data is lost.
 The buffer size and sampling rate
will be configurable over the
UART.

-The array locations corresponding
to the valid OMT range are searched
for the maximum energy, giving the
Frequency and Amplitude of the
OMT signal.

Waveform in
Time Domain
-An FFT is performed on the
contents of the sample buffer, with
spectrum data saved to an array.
Filtered

Output
-An inverse FFT on only the valid OMT
frequency range is required to
reconstitute a time-domain waveform
that can be sent to the bedside
monitor.

Output
Wavelets – Short Oscillations of a given
frequency. Can be compared to our signal
to determine if energy at that frequency
is present.
-Digital filter routines modify the
contents of the buffer, giving a filtered
signal that could be sent to the bedside
monitor.
-Positive-to-negative changes in slope
are counted, giving the frequency. The
amplitudes at which this occurs are
averaged.
Bedside Monitor Interface
 Philips VueLink Module 1032A
 RS-232 Input – Open Interface
Protocol
 Allows 1 Waveform (OMT
Signal), 2 Numerics
(Amplitude and Frequency),
Diagnostic Messages (ex.
OMT out of valid range), and
Alarms (ex. OMT below
certain value)

Testing and Data Mining
 Important in order to determine the pattern and/or
trend of OMT signals
 Determining a pattern is vital to the signal processing
component
 The process involves a subject (one of us) to lie down
and have the sensor mounted on a closed eyelidusing
surgical sensitive tape
 Due to a lack of FDA approval and other required
certification, we will not be able to gather data on a
large scale basis

Interference Concerns
 Accidental patient movement
 Electrical noise from other equipment in the ICU
room
 Noises in excess of 95 dB
 Heartbeat
Contingencies
 Software implementation of display if bedside
monitor is not able to be acquired
 Scaling number of processors to ensure proper
operation
 Purchasing additional components to ensure
minimal downtime especially before expo
Risks
 During application of sensor patients’ eye may
be agitated
 Additional cord is hanging off of patient
 Possibility of dongle removing sensor from
patients’ eye if too heavy
 Components may be destroyed if wired
incorrectly
Extension possibilities
 Add through connections in order to
minimize hanging cables
 Adding accelerometer to measure patient
movement to find bad samples
