A measurement patch device may change length according to somatotype of a user, and may be joined with another measurement patch device integrally according to the need of different physiological lead measurement. Moreover, the two joined measurement patch devices may rotate with respect to each other, such that multi-channel or multi-lead physiological signal may be measured to save measurement time of physiological signal.

Optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) is an eye movement elicited by the tracking of moving objects in a visual field. It is characterized by an alternating smooth pursuit in one direction and saccadic movement in the other direction. The presence or absence of OKN indicates whether or not the moving stimulus was visible to the observer, without the explicit cooperation of the observer. It can be a tool for objective visual acuity assessment for patients such as young children who lack cognitive, attentional and language capabilities. Since the patient's head movement and unstable eye gaze may occur during the test, which often brings noises and irrelevant activities in the responses, making recognition of presence/absence of the OKN a challenging task. The present invention, using a dynamic velocity threshold (DVT) filter, provides a system and method for a quick and reliable OKN test and quantitative assessment of visual acuity.

Systems and methods for tracking dynamic structure in physiological data are provided. In some aspects, the method includes providing physiological data, including electroencephalogram (EEG) data, acquired from a subject and assembling a time-frequency representation of signals from the physiological data. The method also includes generating a dynamic model of at least one non-stationary spectral feature, such as at least one non-stationary spectral peak, using the time-frequency representation and a user indication, and applying a dynamic model of at least one non-stationary spectral feature in a parameter estimation algorithm to compute concurrent estimates of spectral parameters describing the at least one non-stationary spectral feature. The method also includes tracking the spectral parameters of the at least one spectral feature over time.

In various embodiments, methods and systems, of an ionic varistor system is provided. The ionic varistor system includes an electrolyte-membrane assembly having a liquid electrolyte that is enclosed in a solid electrolyte membrane. The ionic varistor system further includes conductive contacts operably coupled to the electrolyte-membrane assembly. The electrolytic-membrane assembly is operably coupled to an electrical potential surface. As the ionic concentration in the electrical potential surface is increased or decreased, some ions diffuse through the solid electrolyte membrane, causing the ions to mix with the liquid electrolyte to achieve an electrostatic equilibrium state that is thermally and mechanically stable. The liquid electrolyte and the diffused ions create an encapsulated ion channel in the electrolyte-membrane assembly. The electrical conductivity of the encapsulated ion channel increases as the ion concentration increases such that the complete electrolyte-membrane assembly produces electrical resistance. The ion concentration is measured as indicator of electrical potential of the electrical potential surface.
