A device for measuring eyelid movement in a human subject comprises a housing, at least one stimulator mounted to the housing, and a camera. The at least one stimulator is configured to provide stimulus to one or both eyes of the subject. The camera is configured to collect information related to movement of one or both eyes of the subject. The device also includes a user interface that is configured to control the at least one stimulator and display information collected by the camera.

Provided is an information processing apparatus including a processing unit that presents content to a user on a basis of sensor information acquired by a sensor that detects reaction of the user to a stimulus given to the user.

In one embodiment, an assessment system includes an electrical stimulation device configured to generate current, stimulation electrodes configured to apply the current generated by the electrical stimulation device to a neck of a subject at a location that results in stimulation of a phrenic nerve of the subject, a movement sensor configured to sense movement of an upper abdomen of the subject caused by twitching of a diaphragm of the subject responsive to the stimulation of the phrenic nerve, and a controller configured to receive data sensed by the movement sensor, analyze the received data to evaluate the activity of the diaphragm, and generate an assessment of the subject's respiratory function or phrenic nerve.

A surgical access system including a tissue distraction assembly and a tissue refraction assembly, both of which may be equipped with one or more electrodes for use in detecting the existence of (and optionally the distance and/or direction to) neural structures before, during, and after the establishment of an operative corridor to a surgical target site.

A method for measuring diaphragmatic functional parameters, including: a) stimulation of the diaphragm to generate a movement of the diaphragm, b) during the movement of the diaphragm, imaging the diaphragm over time including the steps of emitting unfocused ultrasound waves, detecting ultrasound waves reflected and/or scattered by organic tissues, processing the reflected and/or scattered ultrasound waves over time, c) processing, images to measure movements of the diaphragm over time, and/or a propagation of a movement through the diaphragm over time, and/or a propagation speed of a movement through the diaphragm over time, and/or one or more movements of different parts of the diaphragm over time, and/or an amplitude of a movement of the diaphragm over time, and/or a time separating the stimulation of the diaphragm from the occurrence of a movement of the diaphragm associated to the stimulation, d) based on the measurements, determining functional parameters.

Systems and methods for digital reflex quantization and signature analysis. Movement of a stimulating device invoking a reflex response in an organism is captured as stimuli data. Electromyographic (EMG) of the reflex response is captured as EMG data. Movement resulting from the reflex response of a limb/appendage of the organism is captured as motion data. One or more of the stimuli data, the EMG data, and the motion data are analyzed to determine one or both of a motion signature and an EMG signature defining quantitative evaluation of the reflex response.

A surgical access system including a tissue distraction assembly and a tissue refraction assembly, both of which may be equipped with one or more electrodes for use in detecting the existence of (and optionally the distance and/or direction to) neural structures before, during, and after the establishment of an operative corridor to a surgical target site.

A device includes an EMG processing application operable with a processing module to receive an output signal from EMG testing, wherein the output signal represents electrical activity of at least one muscle. The EMG processing application is operable to process the output signal to detect at least one type of waveform of a plurality of types of waveforms from the output signal and display the detected at least one type of waveform.

An apparatus for monitoring neural response and/or providing treatment includes an electrical stimulator configured to apply electrical stimulation, and one or more processors configured to analyze stimulation response. The one or more processors can be further configured to operate the electrical stimulator, adjust the electrical stimulation, and determine one or more wound characteristics based at least in part on at least one of the electrical stimulation or the stimulation response, e.g. a movement of a patient, a color absorption characteristic, or other physiological responses. An indication of the one or more wound characteristics can be provided.

A method and system configured to use a virtual reality headset to generate a dynamic MRI simulation for assessment and training purposes. The system can use a predictive analytic model to analyze and assess a wide range of biometric data for predicting the user's suitability for the actual MRI. The prediction can be displayed via a built-in indicator on the headset. The system can provide real-time biofeedback training to improve the user's performance in the actual MRI.
