The analysis of eyes movements is a crucial part of eyes examination performed by clinicians. One of the characteristic type of eyes movements is a saccade. Its accurate detection is the base for further processing including the estimation of saccade parameters such as velocity, amplitude and duration. This paper presents averaging of optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) cycles that allows comparing and detecting different types of nystagmus phenomena. In order to average the OKN cycles the ENG signal needs to be processed. The saccade detection function is used to find the location of saccades in OKN waveform allowing the ENG signal to be divided into cycles. The resulting cycles are aligned using the Fourier shift method and then averaged providing the OKN cycle model, which can be used for evaluating the eyes at different movement conditions.
