1. A diagnostic system for measuring and analyzing startle response of a subject comprising:
a stimuli delivery circuitry configured to deliver startle stimuli to said subject;
at least one sensor circuitry configured to detect and record a startle response of said subject;
at least one camera connected to said sensor circuitry and configured to capture at least part of said startle response of said subject by capture of movement of facial muscles of said subject during said startle response; and
a diagnosis circuitry configured to extract and analyze features of said startle response,
wherein said startle response of said subject being detected by said sensor circuitry and/or said camera comprises at least one of a muscle startle response, a post-auricular muscle response or an intrinsic auricular muscle response; and
said diagnosis circuitry is in communication with a memory having stored thereon a software application that when executed by said diagnosis circuitry generates a response battery comprising startle responses from individual muscles and based on said analysis of said features of said startle responses determines a location of damage to a brainstem of said subject.
