Abstract :
Presents a clinical study of feasibility of use of computerized tracking in assessment of effectiveness of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Three groups of results are compared: blood levels of AEDs, scores on standard neuropsychological tests, and scores on computerized tracking and reaction time tests. The authors found that their computer tests are repeatable, reliable, and that they may be useful in clinical settings
