Approaches presented herein provide for the automated determination of a level of impairment of a person, as may be relevant to the performance of a task. A light and camera-based system can be used to determine factors such as gaze nystagmus that are indicative of inebriation or impairment. A test system can simulate motion of a light using a determined pattern, and capture image data of at least the eye region of a person attempting to follow the motion. The captured image data can be analyzed using a neural network to infer at least one behavior of the user, and the behavior determination(s) can be used to determine a capacity or level of impairment of a user. An appropriate action can be taken, such as to allow a person with full capacity to operate a vehicle or perform a task, or to block access to such operation or performance if the person is determined to be impaired beyond an allowable amount.
