Head Impulse single-test data analysis
To view a specific test, click on the
Test
window tab and then click the desired test to highlight it. For more information
about selecting the test, refer to
. For information about reordering the list to make it easier to loc-
ate a specific test, refer to the Reference Manual.
Analysis of the test results can be viewed in the 2D, Hex Plot, or 3D Analysis window group.

To enlarge one window within the group, click the small box in the top right corner of that window.
•
To return to the normal viewing mode, click the two overlapping boxes in the enlarged window.
For more information about switching between viewing modes (normal mode or enlarged mode), refer to the Reference

Analysis details
9.8.1
Gain
Reviewing the eye and head traces is the first step in interpreting the data. (See
.) Reviewing
the gain data should always be secondary.
Gain is the ratio of the eye movement velocity to the head movement velocity. Individual gains and the mean gain are dis-
played. The
Gain
window displays gain values along the Y axis and corresponding peak velocities along the X axis. (The
peak velocity is the maximum velocity for each of the 175 samples representing that particular head impulse test.) The
gain graph will auto scale above 1.2 if there are individual gains between 1.2 and 3.
In the gain graph, the right and left means are indicated by Xs. At the top of the graph a legend identifies the colors used
for left and right values.
