Towards a Multi-Sensor System for the Diagnosis of Neurological Disorders

The occurrence of fasciculations is an indication for several neurological disorders. However, due to the low amplitude and irregular occurrence, these involuntary muscle movements are hard to quantify. Currently used techniques have to be applied manually from a trained specialist and lack the possibility of a remote measurement of fasciculations. Therefore, we introduce a new approach which is able to remotely measure fasciculations with high temporal resolution. Moreover, we compare the sensitivity of our technique with established methods and give an outlook how our technology can be expanded to a multi-sensor system for the automated diagnosis of neurological disorders.
