Systems and methods are disclosed for estimating the responses of multiple parts of the visual fields of one or both eyes from records of the responses of one or both pupils to concurrently presented multifocal stimuli to the multiple parts of those visual fields. The collections of multifocal stimuli are controlled by separate pseudo-random sequences, one sequence for each stimulated visual field region. Given the pseudo-random nature of the stimuli the density of stimuli fluctuates over time. The systems and methods include the step of estimating both temporal impulse responses for each component part of the field, i.e. for each sequence, and gain-kernels characterising dynamic changes in the pupil responses driven by short-term fluctuations in overall stimulus density. While gain-kernels for each stimulus region could be estimated it is demonstrated that many fewer kernels can be estimated by grouping the stimuli into symbolic stimulus groups and only estimating gain-kernels for each group. Particular symbolic stimulus groups are shown to be highly efficient, notably those that capture the switch eyes configuration. The ability to estimate more reliable responses with relatively few extra gain-kernel coefficients means less data is required to be collected thus reducing test duration or responses can be more accurately estimated in a fixed time.
