Conv=conversation; bl/m=mean number of blinks/min; tt/m=mean total number of eye tics/min. ^†Patients treated with neuroleptics.^‡Patient treated with antidepressant. Per patient, Spearman rank correlation coefficients between the number of blinks and eye tics/10 s were computed for the whole recording (last column). Wilcoxon tests: within group change v preceding period:^2-150p⩽0.05; Spearman rank correlation coefficients:
↵2-150 p<0.05;
↵2-160 p<0.01;
↵2-165 p<0.001.
