AbstractAbstractA fiber optic, photodiode design for A fiber optic, photodiode design for
detecting horizontal eye movement in detecting horizontal eye movement in the rhesus macaque monkey while in the the rhesus macaque monkey while in the fMRI is developed and tested. Light from fMRI is developed and tested. Light from an infrared laser source with an output of an infrared laser source with an output of 40 mW is directed via fiber optic cable to 40 mW is directed via fiber optic cable to reflect off of the eye. A photodiode reflect off of the eye. A photodiode receives the reflected light by way of a receives the reflected light by way of a fiber optic cable and generates a voltage fiber optic cable and generates a voltage based on the intensity of light received. based on the intensity of light received. Maximum reflection achieved was 35%. Maximum reflection achieved was 35%.
