Description
In our study we investigated the validity of the horizontal gaze nystagmus test currently
in use as a field sobriety testing method by many state police departments. We looked at smooth pursuits and end point nystagmus in an attempt to record these movements and compare them with subjective measurements. We were unable to record end—point nystagmus due to inadequate instrumentation however, we did record pursuit eye movements. Therefore, we were unable to substantiate the relationship between blood alcohol concentration and the onset of horizontal gaze nystagmus. |
