Eye movement detecting device, electronic device and system
According to one embodiment, an eye movement detecting device comprises first, second, third, fourth and fifth electrodes. A line connecting the first and the third electrodes passes through the right eye and a line connecting the second and the fourth electrodes passes through the left eye on at least one of a front view, a plan view or a side view. A distance between the fifth and the first electrodes is equal to a distance between the fifth and the second electrodes. A distance between the fifth and the third electrodes is equal to a distance between the fifth and the fourth electrodes. The detector respectively detects a horizontal movement of the right eye and a horizontal movement of the left eye.
WEARABLE BIOPOTENTIAL PATCH WITH METHOD TO OPTIMIZE COMFORT AND ACCURACY
The described embodiments relate to a self-regulating patch for taking biopotential measurements and balancing accurate measurements and user comfort. The self-regulating patch including: a heating element operable to generate heat that causes formation of sweat at the skin surface; a biopotential sensor; an exterior surface constructed of a moisture wicking material enveloping the heating element; and a logic to concurrently activate the biopotential sensor and transition the self-regulating patch between a plurality of modes, including a comfort mode and an accuracy mode, where in the comfort mode the heating element is inactive and in the accuracy mode the heating element is active.
ADAPTIVE DEPTH OF ANESTHESIA MONITOR
In some examples, a method including determining an effective brain age metric for a patient based on at least one brain signal of the patient; receiving a signal indicative of a physiological parameter of the patient; and generating an index score indicative of depth of anesthesia (DOA) of the patient based on the received signal and the determined effective brain age metric for the patient.
