To examine how selection history impacts saccadic choices, we trained two macaque monkeys to perform an urgent version of an oddball search task in which a red target appeared among three green ...

Abstract: Saccadic Ratio (SR), a ratio between Peak Saccadic Velocity and the Saccadic Duration, exhibits correlation with human alertness. A simple non-linear model of horizontal saccade with input ...

DON is the most common entity to affect the afferent visual pathways in MS, while saccadic abnormalities, INO, smooth pursuit abnormalities and abnormalities of the VOR are among the more common ...

A new study published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health has found that a parent’s concern that their child is deteriorating in hospital is as strongly associated with serious illness as ...

He had one simple goal—invent an application that can pinpoint cardiovascular abnormalities during their initial stage. In most cases, a heart attack or stroke is the first sign of a ...

A similar rationale may apply to the abnormalities observed in caloric and VHIT testing, which could, in part, be due to a post-traumatic etiology. Similarly, clinical static and dynamic balance tests ...

The Monash University study introduced a simple question for clinical staff at Monash Children’s Hospital to ask parents during every vital signs check: “Are you worried your child is getting worse?”.
