Pattern rotation system for a visual stimulator

Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A fully electronic system providing the rotation of the pattern in a visual stimulator is described. The electronic method of achieving rotation offers substantial advantages compared with the previous mechanical ones, owing mainly to its faster speed. Positive and negative rotations ranging from 0° to+90° can be selected. The system acts exclusively on the deflection of an electrostatic deflection cathode-ray tube display.
