Scientists Developed Test to Detect schizophrenics


November 4, 2012  Posted by :Unknown Leave a comment

Scientists developed a near to 100 percent accurate test  to detect schizophrenics, by simply checking their gaze.
Apparently schizophrenics can be checked just by implying some ‘simple viewing tests’ . The tests brought out ninety eight per cent accuracy in distinguishing between those with and without schizophrenia.
This path breaking research was done by researchers at Aberdeen University. They found that people with schizophrenia showed well-documented deficits in the ability to track slow moving objects smoothly with their eyes.
The study was led by Dr Philip Benson and Professor David St Clair which involved a range of eye tests and the volunteers were asked to track slow moving objects slowly with their eyes, inspect a variety of everyday scenes and given instructions to keep a steady gaze on a single unmoving target.
