Eye movement artifacts represent a critical issue for quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) analysis and a number of mathematical approaches have been proposed to reduce their contribution in EEG recordings. The aim of this paper was to objectively and quantitatively evaluate the performance of ocular filtering methods with respect to spectral target variables widely used in clinical and fu...

The term electronystagmography (ENG) refers to the recording of eye movements and nystagmus during ®xation and in response to vestibular, visual, caloric, rotational, or positional stimulation. Typically, electrooculography (EOG) is the method used to record eye movements during ENG, with the exception that the classical EOG uses DC (direct current coupling) ampli®cation, whereas ENG in clinica...

Home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) without electroencephalography (EEG) recordings is increasingly used as an alternative to in-laboratory polysomnography for the diagnosis of obstructive (OSA). However, EEG, electrooculography (EOG), and chin electromyography (EMG) recordings, OSA severity may be significantly underestimated. Although several ambulatory EEG systems have been recently introduced, ...

This paper evaluates a hybrid neurophysiological interface for controlling a virtual smart home. Electrooculography (EOG) and Electroencephalography (EEG) techniques are used for recording biosignals from the user’s body. The signals are further analyzed and translated into commands for controlling a virtual smart home. The purpose of the study was the evaluation of the implemented interface an...

Sleep analysis is usually done inside a sleep laboratory under close supervision of doctors with the help of cardiac rhythm using electro cardiography (ECG), breathing patterns, brain activities using electro encephalography (EEG), eye movement using electrooculography (EOG) and muscle activity during sleep. The data collected through these devices is thus utilized for further analysis and has ...

In this paper we present a new architecture of spiking neural networks (SNNs) to control the movements of a wheelchair. In this case, to send different commands we have used electrooculography (EOG) techniques, so that, control is made by means of the ocular position (eye displacement into its orbit). Spatiotemporal coding that combines spatial constraints with temporal sequencing is of great i...

Birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR) is a rare form of autoimmune posterior uveitis that can affect the visual function and, if left untreated, can lead to sight-threatening complications and loss of central vision. We performed a systematic search of the literature focused on visual electrophysiology studies, including electroretinography (ERG), electrooculography (EOG), and visual evoked potenti...

To understand sleep mechanisms and develop treatments for sleep disorders, investigations using animal models are essential. The sleep architecture of rodents differs from that of diurnal mammals including humans and non-human primates. Sleep studies have been conducted in non-human primates; however, these sleep assessments were performed on animals placed in a restraint chair connected via th...

Background: Different levels of brain arousal can be delineated not only during sleep but also during wakefulness. Electroencephalography (EEG) is the gold standard to assess different levels of brain arousal. A novel EEGand electrooculography (EOG)-based tool, the Vigilance Algorithm Leipzig (VIGALL 2.0), allows determining the level of EEG-vigilance (indicating brain arousal). Considering the...
