Abstract

A method of determining whether an individual has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder comprising: sampling the eye movement of a human subject during a predetermined time interval when the subject is in an inactive state to provide sampled eye movement data; and analyzing the sampled eye movement data for a pre-selected parameter, to determine whether said pre-selected parameter has a value indicative of ADHD.
