Pupil dilatation does affect some aspects of daytime driving performance.
AIMS To examine the effects of pupil dilatation on driving performance and determine whether this was related to changes in standard measures of visual function. METHODS The driving and vision performance of 16 young, visually normal participants was measured with both normal and dilated pupils. Pupils were dilated with 1% tropicamide. Driving performance was measured under daytime conditions...
متن کاملThe complexity of amphibian population declines: understanding the role of cofactors in driving amphibian losses.
Population losses and extinctions of species are occurring at unprecedented rates, as exemplified by declines and extinctions of amphibians worldwide. However, studies of amphibian population declines generally do not address the complexity of the phenomenon or its implications for ecological communities, focusing instead on single factors affecting particular amphibian species. We argue that t...
متن کاملDrivers' misjudgement of vigilance state during prolonged monotonous daytime driving.
To investigate the effects of monotonous daytime driving on vigilance state and particularly the ability to judge this state, a real road driving study was conducted. To objectively assess vigilance state, performance (auditory reaction time) and physiological measures (EEG: alpha spindle rate, P3 amplitude; ECG: heart rate) were recorded continuously. Drivers judged sleepiness, attention to th...
متن کاملExcessive daytime sleepiness and driving: regulations for road safety.
Individuals who fall asleep at the wheel usually do so because they are sleep deprived. It is likely that they are aware of the circumstances leading to sleepiness and of feeling sleepy before the event. Nevertheless, sleepiness sufficient to cause or contribute to an accident may involve a disorder of sleep, and little attention has been given to such disorders in the consideration of accident...
متن کاملForces driving cell sorting in the amphibian embryo
Adhesion differences are the main driver of cell sorting and related processes such as boundary formation or tissue positioning. In the early amphibian embryo, graded variations in cadherin density and localized expression of adhesion-modulating factors are associated with regional differences in adhesive properties including overall adhesion strength. The role of these differences in embryonic...
