ACCOMMODATION STIMULATION AND RECORDING DEVICE
Embodiments described herein generally relate to devices and methods for stimulation or recording of accommodation of an eye. Accommodation of an eye naturally occurs through contraction of the ciliary muscle. Embodiments described herein can deliver electrostimulation to the ciliary muscle through a pair of electrodes which deliver power over an area of the sclera which is both positioned above and over an area which is substantially equivalent to the surface area of the ciliary muscle. In further embodiments, electrical impulses produced by the ciliary muscle can be received by one or more electrodes positioned proximate the ciliary muscle. Thus, by embodiments described herein, accommodation of the eye can be reproducibly achieved by external stimulation of the ciliary muscle or measured based on electrical impulses generated by or in conjunction with the ciliary muscle.
MULTIMODAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT WITH NEURO-OPTHALMOLOGICAL SACCADE TESTS
A system and method for assessing brain health includes presenting a saccade test to a subject and capturing biological sensor data of the subject in response to the saccade test using a plurality of biological sensors. Saccade cards are employed to measure the brain health of a subject through collection of eye tracking data, for example. Saccade cards using a variety of design elements besides numbers are used for collection of the eye tracking data and other biological data. The captured biological data is used to create a multi-variate signature of the brain health condition of the subject.

METHOD OF CORRECTING DISTORTION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST USING USER'S BIOMETRIC DATA
Disclosed is a method of correcting distortion of a psychological test using a user's biometric data. By using the method of correcting distortion of a psychological test, it is possible to correct a score of a user who makes response distortion and provide a better selection that meets the objective of the psychological test. Also, it is also possible to train an item with a response instinctually distorted by the user through an analysis of result data of the psychological test training program, thus decreasing the response distortion of the user.
Sleepiness detecting device
A device for detecting the sleepiness of a driver driving a vehicle is designed to determine if the resetting of threshold values for detection of sleepiness is performed based upon its necessity when an interruption of the driving occurs. The inventive device computes successively an eyelid opening/closing characteristic amount from time intervals between transitions between an opened state and a closed state of an eyelid detected successively; sets threshold values using the eyelid opening/closing characteristic amounts obtained in a predetermined period; and judges the driver feels sleepiness when the eyelid opening/closing characteristic amount deviates from a range defined with the threshold values. In restarting the driving after its interruption, it is judged if the resetting of the threshold values is to be performed based on the driver's condition till then, and the resetting is performed, using eyelid opening/closing characteristic amounts obtained after the restarting of the driving.
