A COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR ESTIMATING A READING SPEED OF AN INDIVIDUAL
A computer-implemented method for estimating a reading speed of an individual. The method comprises the steps of: providing a reading speed model, based on a reading speed function comprising a set of parameters and a set of metrics; determining a printed stimulus to be presented to the individual by way of a reading run of a reading test and determining one or more stimulus features associated therewith; controlling an administration of the reading test to the individual based on the one or more determined stimulus features; receiving reading speed observation data based on the presented printed stimulus and corresponding to one or more responses made by the individual in the reading test.
Method and apparatus for administering a low luminance visual dysfunction test
A computerized method for administering a low luminance dysfunction test, comprising the steps of: (a) displaying a first character in a color at a first acuity level against a display having a luminance level; (b) receiving a first input signal from a patient via an input device, where the input signal is indicative of whether the patient recognizes the first character displayed in the first acuity level; (c) displaying a second character in the color at a second acuity level against the display having the luminance level; (d) receiving a second input signal from the patient via the input device, where the input signal is indicative of whether the patient recognizes the second character displayed at the second acuity level; and, (e) calculating a score based on the first and second input signals.
Method and device for detection and assessment of marijuana impairment
A method of identifying individuals impaired by a psychoactive substance such as cannabis. The method includes presenting monocularly to a subject being tested; to each eye separately, a sinusoidal grating pattern of fixed spatial frequency with achromatic contrast or color contrast between grating stripes being temporally alternately modulated at a temporal frequency that ranges between 10 Hz and 60 Hz with a pattern of the contrast being such that the subject being tested can see a frequency doubling in the grating pattern.

Color vision assessment for displays
An electronic device may include a display and control circuitry that operates the display. The control circuitry may be configured to daltonize input images to produce daltonized output images that allow a user with color vision deficiency to see a range of detail that the user would otherwise miss. The daltonization algorithm may be specific to the type and severity of color vision deficiency that the user has. The control circuitry may conduct a color vision assessment using the display. The color vision assessment may include a sequence of test images that are each displayed for a predetermined period of time before moving to the next test image in the sequence. Each test image may include a color patch on a neutral background. A predetermined number of severity levels for each type of color vision deficiency may be tested during the color vision assessment.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL COGNITIVE ABILITY EVALUATION SYSTEM
There are provided a system, an apparatus, a program, and a method for enabling objective evaluation of a three-dimensional cognitive ability through quantification. A three-dimensional cognitive ability of a measurement target person is evaluated by acquiring a position of a moving object, the position enabling identification of a distance between the moving object and the measurement target person, by receiving input of an active response of the measurement target person taken in response to a three-dimensional position of the object recognized by the measurement target person, and by determining whether the position of the object that is acquired and the response that is input correctly match. The moving object may be provided in virtual reality by a virtual reality headset, and the three-dimensional cognitive ability may also be evaluated by displaying a moving image of when the object seen from a predetermined point of view is moved in virtual reality from a movement start position to a movement end position, in a direction of approaching the predetermined point of view along a predetermined movement route, and based on a response corresponding to a position of the object.
Illumination evaluation or recommendation using visual function
Illumination can be evaluated for patient using a system including a housing, an adjustable light source mechanically coupled to the housing and configured to illuminate an object for viewing by the patient on an axis substantially perpendicular to a surface of the object. A user-adjustable input coupled to the adjustable light source is to obtain information from a user indicative of a calibrated illuminance and a color property to be provided by the adjustable light source including providing a range of adjustable illuminance and color properties selectable by the user. The adjustable light source can be configured to provide light having an illuminance in excess of 300 lux, and the housing can be configured to provide a first specified distance between the adjustable light source and the object for viewing and to obstruct viewing of the light source directly by the patient.
Ocular surface interferometry (OSI) for imaging, processing, and/or displaying an ocular tear film
Ocular surface interferometry devices, systems, and methods are disclosed for imaging an ocular tear film. An imaging device can be focused on the lipid layer of the tear film to capture optical wave interference interactions of specularly reflected light from the tear film combined with a background signal(s) in a first image, wherein the specularly reflected light may be produced from various portions of the ocular tear film by obliquely illuminating various portions of the ocular tear film with a multi-wavelength light source, such as in a tiling pattern(s). The imaging device can also be focused on the lipid layer to capture a second image containing the background signal(s) present in the first image. The second image can be subtracted from the first image to reduce and/or eliminate the background signal(s) in the first image to produce a resulting image, which can used to measure a tear film layer thickness.
METHOD OF MONITORING THE BEHAVIOR OF A COHORT GROUP OF MEMBERS
A method of monitoring the behavior of a cohort group of members, including: a cohort group behavior monitoring step during which the behavior of the members of the cohort group of members is monitored so as to provide behavior data; and a vision information generating step during which vision information relating to the vision of the members of the cohort group is generated based on the monitoring of the behavior data over time.
