SENSOR APPARATUS
A sensor apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a substrate, one or more first IMU sensors, and one or more second IMU sensors. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The one or more first IMU sensors are arranged on the first surface. The one or more second IMU sensors are arranged on the second surface. By arranging the IMU sensors on both the first surface and the second surface, it is possible to reduce the size the apparatus and to suppress a deformation of the substrate due to heat. This makes it possible to realize a highly accurate measurement based on a detection result (sensing result) of a plurality of IMU sensors.

ESTIMATING A MENTAL STATE BASED ON SENSOR MEASUREMENTS FROM AN ELECTRONIC CONTACT LENS
A system includes an electronic contact lens that obtains sensor measurements from integrated motion sensors or other types of sensors and a processing module that estimates a mental state of an individual based on the sensor measurements. The processing module identifies patterns of eye movements and analyzes how these patterns change over time. Based on anatomical relationships between eye movement and mental state, the processing module estimates characteristics of the individual such as fatigue, intoxication, injury, or a medical condition that have known effects on eye movement patterns. The electronic contact lens system generates an output indicative of the estimated mental state to alert the individual to the detected condition or to initiate an automated action.
