Technical Comment on "Saccadic eye movement performance as an indicator of driving ability in elderly drivers".
OBJECTIVE Regular checking of the fitness to drive of elderly car-license holders is required in some countries, and this will become increasingly important as more countries face aging populations. The present study investigated whether the analysis of saccadic eye movements could be used as a screening method for the assessment of driving ability. METHODS Three different paradigms (prosacca...
متن کاملThe effects of amnesia on driving performance in elderly drivers
Cognitive dysfunction caused by some neurodegenerative diseases is associated with an increased risk of traffic accidents. Previous studies have reported inconsistent results for prodromal and early stages of dementia. Few studies have directly compared the effects on driving performance of amnestic subtype of mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) with those by normal aging in elderly drivers. The p...
متن کاملAn Analog VLSI Saccadic Eye Movement System
In an effort to understand saccadic eye movements and their relation to visual attention and other forms of eye movements, we in collaboration with a number of other laboratories are carrying out a large-scale effort to design and build a complete primate oculomotor system using analog CMOS VLSI technology. Using this technology, a low power, compact, multi-chip system has been built which work...
متن کاملEye Movement Patterns and Driving Performance
In the current study we examined the relationship between drivers’ eye movement patterns and driving performance in a dual-task driving paradigm. Drivers performed two tasks in a driving simulator. In a car following task, drivers were asked to maintain a constant headway from a leading vehicle as it varied its speed. In the second task (light detection task), drivers tried to detect changes in...
متن کاملSLOPE PROFILE MORPHOMETRY AS AN INDICATOR FOR SLOPE MOVEMENT
Two dimensional slope profile morphometric investigation in a part of the land failure prone Garhwal region of the Lesser Himalaya, Tehri district, U. P., India, indicates that the landslip morphology is closely related to the dominant movement processes active in this terrain. Technique developed for the morphometric analysis of landslips involves the use of five morphometric indices. Each ind...
