Assessment of one of the sensory nervous systems of a human subject using patterns of null and non-null stimuli. Parts of the visual system for example, are presented with two simultaneous sequences of stimuli. Each sequence is varied over time between a null stimulus and one or more less frequent non- null stimuli. The variation of each sequence is also controlled so that neighbouring parts of the sensory system are less likely to receive simultaneous non-null stimuli. The stimuli are therefore sparse both in time and in some other aspect, typically a spatial dimension. One or more responses of the subject are measured and weight functions are determined for assessment of the sensory system.

L'invention concerne l'évaluation d'un des systèmes nerveux sensoriels d'un sujet humain au moyen de configurations de stimuli nuls et non nuls. Des parties du système visuel sont par exemple présentées avec deux séquences simultanées de stimuli. Chaque séquence varie avec le temps entre un stimulus nul et un ou plusieurs stimuli non nuls moins fréquents. La variation de chaque séquence est également régulée de sorte que des parties voisines du système sensoriel soient moins susceptibles de recevoir des stimuli non nuls simultanés. Pour cette raison, les stimuli sont espacés d'un point de vue temporel et selon d'autres aspects, notamment selon une dimension spatiale. Une ou plusieurs réponses du sujet sont mesurées et des fonctions de pondération sont déterminées pour évaluer le système sensoriel.
