It outlines quantitative neurology methodologies\, emphasizing their util ity in the presymptomatic detection of neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington’s disease and the importance of identifying early dysfunctio ns that are otherwise masked by intrinsic compensatory mechanisms. Central to the discussion is analytical saccadometry\, a quantitative paradigm fo r assessing cortical selection and decision-making processes through high- resolution measurements of saccadic responses. The presentation further ad dresses the LATER (Linear Approach to Threshold with Ergodic Rate) model\, which provides a theoretical framework linking raw neurophysiological par ameters to higher-order constructs\, including subjective task difficulty and information processing capacity. Technological innovations in minimall y invasive\, portable saccadometric instrumentation are presented\, highli ghting their applicability in both controlled laboratory environments and field diagnostics. Finally\, the potential of saccadometry for pharmaco-cl inical studies and as a sensitive\, objective approach for monitoring cent ral nervous system deterioration and age-related cognitive decline is expl ored.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Poznan University of Technology\n\nSpeaker(s): P rofessor Jan Ober\n\nRoom: room 201\, Bldg: CENTER FOR MECHATRONICS\, BIOM ECHANICS\, AND NANOENGINEERING\, POZNAŃ UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY\, ul.
