Background/Objectives: Cervical dystonia (CD) is a condition characterized by involuntary activity of cervical muscles, which is often accompanied by various non-motor symptoms. Recent studies indicate impaired saccadic eye movements in CD. Local administration of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A), which causes temporary paralysis of the injected muscle, is the first-line treatment of focal dystonia, including CD. To our knowledge, concurrent observation of the effect of BoNT/A on smooth eye movements, voluntary saccades, memory-guided saccades, and antisa...자세히 보기

Vigilance refers to an individual’s ability to maintain attention over time. Vigilance decrement is particularly concerning in clinical environments where shift work and long working hours are common. This study identifies significant factors and indicators for predicting and monitoring individuals’ vigilance decrement. We enrolled 11 participants and measured their vigilance levels by recording their reaction times while completing the Psychomotor Vigilance Test. Additionally, we measured participants’ physiological responses and collected their sleep d...자세히 보기

Power distribution of progressive power lenses provides usable regions based on power distribution analysis. However, recent studies demonstrated that these regions are not always used for certain tasks as predicted. This work determines the concordance between the actual region of lens use and compares it with the theoretically located regions. The pupil position of 26 subjects was recorded using an eye-tracking system (Tobii-Pro-Glasses 3) at distance and near-reading tasks while wearing a general use progressive power lens. Subjects were asked to read...자세히 보기

To address the limitations of traditional algorithms in detecting eye movement events, particularly in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, this study introduces Skip-AttSeqNet. It presents an innovative approach combining skip-connected, one-dimensional convolutional neural networks with an attention-enhanced, bidirectional long short-term memory network. This hybrid architecture significantly advances smooth pursuit (SP) event detection, as evidenced by its performance on both the GazeCom dataset and a unique dataset of PD patient eye movements. Key inno...자세히 보기

We quantified and compared the gaze metrics during target-oriented visual search tasks between glaucoma and healthy controls. Based on a mathematical concept we showed that due to glaucoma, focal search becomes prominent over global search.

Eye tracking technology not only reveals the acquisition of visual information at fixation but also has the potential to unveil underlying cognitive processes involved in learning to use a multifunction prosthetic hand. It also reveals gaze behaviours observed during standardized tasks and self-chosen tasks. The aim of the study was to explore the use of eye tracking to track learning progress of multifunction hands at two different time points in prosthetic rehabilitation.

There have been many reports suggesting that glaucoma patients with visual field defects may have decreased silent reading ability compared with individuals without glaucoma. This study used an eye tracking system to assess the ability of glaucoma patients to silently read horizontally scrolling text. Glaucoma patients who met the following criteria were recruited: age of ≤ 70 years, at least one eye with a 10 − 2 threshold on standard automated perimetry, a mean deviation value of n 4.0 dB or less, and corrected decimal visual acuity of 0.7 or better in...자세히 보기

Mitochondria-related neurodegenerative diseases have been implicated in the disruption of primary cilia function. Mutation in an intrinsic mitochondrial complex I component NDUFAF2 has been identified in Leigh syndrome, a severe inherited mitochondriopathy. Mutations in ARMC9, which encodes a basal body protein, cause Joubert syndrome, a ciliopathy with defects in the brain, kidney, and eye. Here, we report a mechanistic link between mitochondria metabolism and primary cilia signaling. We discovered that loss of NDUFAF2 caused both mitochondrial and cili...자세히 보기
