Electrooculography (EOG) is the measurement of eye movements using surface electrodes adhered around eye. EOG systems can be designed to have an unobtrusive form-factor that ideal for tracking in free-living over long durations, but relationship between voltage and gaze direction requires frequent re-calibration as skin-electrode impedance retinal adaptation vary time. Here we propose a method ...

Abstract. The power generation and loading dynamic responses of a 2.2 m diameter horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) under some the IEC 61400-1 transient extreme operational conditions, more specifically shears (EWSs) gust (EOG), that were reproduced at WindEEE Dome Western University investigated. global forces measured by multi-axis force balance HAWT tower base. unsteady shear induced signif...

This paper focuses on the development of an automatic system for sleep analysis. The system proposed in this paper combines two phases needed in sleep analysis. In a first step, an artefact detection system selects the polysomnographic signals (EEG, EOG, EMG) that are not corrupted by artefacts. In a second step, relevant features are extracted from the selected signals and classified using a n...

The electro-oculographic (EOG) features of both horizontal and vertical eye movements in congenital oculomotor apraxia (COMA) were not previously reported. A girl referred to the ophthalmologic department for abnormal eye movements was diagnosed as COMA. The same abnormal ocular movements were observed in her younger sister and her father who was unaware of his difficulties to initiate voluntar...

In this paper, we propose a novel system to analyze vigilance level combining both video and Electrooculography (EOG) features. For one thing, the video features extracted from an infrared camera include percentage of closure (PERCLOS) and eye blinks, slow eye movement (SEM), rapid eye movement (REM) are also extracted from EOG signals. For another, other features like yawn frequency, body post...

Eosinophilic gastroenteropathy (EoG) is an uncommon disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal (GI) mucosa. A chart review was performed searching for patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2010. EoG was diagnosed based on mucosal infiltration of 20 or more eosinophils/HPF in upper GI tract and more than 60 eosinophils/HPF in lower GI tract. Ten patients [median age...

Electrooculography (EOG) signal is one of the useful biomedical signals. Development of EOG signal as a control signal has been paid more increasing interest in the last decade. In this study, we are proposing a robust classification algorithm of eight useful directional movements that it can avoid effect of noises, particularly eye-blink artifact. Threshold analysis is used to detect onset of ...

BACKGROUND Light absorbed by photoreceptors causes oscillations in the voltage across the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). This is the basis of the clinical test, electro-oculography (EOG). We have previously shown that alcohol causes a sequence of voltage changes which are so precisely the same as those caused by light that they must be produced by the same RPE machinery. There is good eviden...

In this paper, we present a series of algorithms for dealing with artifacts in electroencephalograms (EEG), electrooculograms (EOG) and electromyograms (EMG). The aim is to apply artifact correction whenever possible in order to lose a minimum of data, and to identify the remaining artifacts so as not take them into account during the sleep stage classification. Nine procedures were implemented...

OBJECTIVE To assess early visual impairment related to vigabatrin prospectively in patients with and without visual symptoms. BACKGROUND Vigabatrin acts as an inhibitor of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transaminase. GABA-induced ion transport changes in the retinal pigment epithelium have been described. The electro-oculogram (EOG) is a clinical test that reflects photoreceptor and pigment e...
