Magnetoencephalography (MEG) detects very weak magnetic fields originating from the neurons so as to study human brain functions. The original detected MEG data always include interference generated by blinks, which can be called blink artifacts. Blink artifacts could cover signal we are interested in, and therefore need removed. Commonly used artifact cleaning algorithms space projection (SSP)...

PURPOSE Best disease is a macular dystrophy caused by mutations in the BEST1 gene. Affected individuals exhibit a reduced electro-oculographic (EOG) response to changes in light exposure and have significantly longer outer segments (OS) than age-matched controls. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anatomical changes in the outer retina during dark and light adaptation in unaffecte...

The electrooculogram (EOG) of voluntary eye blinking is a distinguishable one among other eye blinking types such as spontaneous or reflexive blinking. In our study, we aimed to measure/detect the EOG of voluntary blinking during Echo Planar Imaging in the MR scanner. After the pulse artifact removal in the EOG signal, the waveform of EOG can clearly show voluntary eye blinking and this was equ...

The magnetic fields generated by eye movements are major artifacts in MEG measurements. We propose a hybrid hierarchical variational Bayesian method to remove eye movement artifacts from MEG data. Our method is an extension of the hierarchical variational Bayesian method for MEG source localization proposed by Sato et al. [Sato, M., Yoshioka, T., Kajihara, S., Toyama, K., Goda, N., Doya, K., an...

AIM To investigate the relative sensitivity and specificity of two tests of retinal function (the electro-oculogram (EOG) and a computerised colour vision test) in screening for ocular toxicity caused by chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. METHODS 93 patients with rheumatic diseases receiving long term chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine therapy were followed for an average of 2.6 years. Clini...

A large set of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (XMEs), such as the cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs), esterases and transferases, are highly expressed in mammalian olfactory mucosa (OM). These enzymes are known to catalyze the biotransformation of exogenous compounds to facilitate elimination. However, the functions of these enzymes in the olfactory epithelium are not clearly understood. In...

The paper presents (Electro-oculography) EOG- (Electroencephalography) EEG- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based Bimodal-Shared Control Interface for mobility assistance application by controlling a mobile robotic arm. EOG-EEG bio-signal bimodal interface has been used to move the robot following predefined path reach at an object placed initial position (Zone 1). RFID as shared control ...
