A wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) device for continuous monitoring of patients suffering from epilepsy would provide valuable information for the management of the disease. Currently no EEG setup is small and unobtrusive enough to be used in daily life. Recording behind the ear could prove to be a solution to a wearable EEG setup. This article examines the feasibility of recording epileptic...

In this article, non-invasive hybrid brain-computer interface (hBCI) technologies for improving classification accuracy and increasing the number of commands are reviewed. Hybridization combining more than two modalities is a new trend in brain imaging and prosthesis control. Electroencephalography (EEG), due to its easy use and fast temporal resolution, is most widely utilized in combination w...

PURPOSE To describe the clinical and molecular characteristics of two families with autosomal dominant Best disease and atypical electrooculography (EOG). METHODS Four affected individuals from two families were ascertained. Detailed ophthalmic examinations, refraction, and biometry (anterior chamber depth [ACD] and axial length [AL]), gonioscopy, optical coherence tomography of the anterior ...

We used herbal extracts in this study to investigate the effects of blue-light-induced oxidative stress on subjects' attentive performance, which is also associated with work performance. We employed an attention network test (ANT) to measure the subjects' work performance indirectly and used herbal extracts to reduce ocular oxidative stress. Thirty-two subjects participated in either an experi...

Robust and reliable determination of hypovigilance is required in many areas, particularly transportation. Here, new products of Fatigue Monitoring Technologies (FMT) emerge. Their development and assessment requires an independent reference standard of driver’s hypovigilance. Until recently most approaches utilized electrooculography (EOG) and electroencephalography (EEG) combined to descripti...

PURPOSE To analyze retinal structure and function in vitelliform macular dystrophy (VMD) due to mutations in BEST1. METHODS Patients from five Swedish and four Danish families were examined with electrooculography (EOG), full-field electroretinography (ffERG), multifocal ERG (mfERG), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fundus autofluorescence photography (FAF). Genetic analysis of the BES...

We have all experienced the sense of time slowing down when we are bored or speeding up focused, engaged, excited about a task. In virtual reality (VR), perception can be key aspect related to flow, immersion, engagement, and ultimately, overall quality experience. While several studies explored changes in using questionnaires, limited attempted characterize them objectively. this paper, propos...

We have previously developed an ambulatory electrode set (AES) for the measurement of electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG), and electromyography (EMG). The AES has been proven to be suitable manual sleep staging self-application in in- home polysomnography (PSG). To further facilitate diagnostics various disorders, this study aimed utilize a deep learning-based automated appro...

BACKGROUND The eye is one of the most sensitive organs to sulfur mustard (SM) [C4H8Cl2S], and preliminary symptoms of exposure usually become evident in the eyes. In this study we aim to evaluate the possible long-term retinal electrophysiologic complications of SM poisoning in Iranian veterans during Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988). METHODS In a cross-sectional study forty Iranian veterans who wer...

PURPOSE To evaluate the genotypic and phenotypic correlations of Bietti's crystalline dystrophy (BCD) in patients with the CYP4V2 gene by mutation screening and clinical and electrophysiological assessment. METHODS Eighteen Chinese patients in 13 families with BCD were recruited for full ophthalmic examinations, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual electrophysiological tests, includ...
