Background: The objective of this study is to examine magnocellular and parvocellular pathways differentiation based on checkerboard spatial frequency stimulation between normal and visually impaired individuals from athletes with mild traumatic brain injury.
Purpose: Athletes who exhibited photophobia, and blurriness were subjected to 5 spatial frequency stimuli presented to the left and right eye, and both eyes simultaneously to determine the type of receptive field loss deprecation based on sports-related brain trauma.
Methods: Checkerboard stimulation enables the measurement between 2 visual processing pathways and enables the determination of the integrity of visual processing through visual evoked potentials (VEPs).
Conclusion: The principal results reflect P1 responses demonstrated distinct changes in amplitude from mTBI (>5 µV) from normal cohorts concluding higher P1 amplitude of the VEP in mTBI cohorts had increased after injury. Latency in P1 was not as distinct as amplitude changes. Our major conclusion is that most of the mTBI cohort exhibited receptive field loss across all the patients appears to be magnocellular process deprecation due to frequent instances of 8 × 8 and 16 × 16 spatial frequencies input as it relates to amplitude and latency output.

In this paper, a bibliometric review is conducted on brain-computer interfaces (BCI) in non-invasive paradigms like motor imagery (MI) and steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP) for applications in rehabilitation and robotics. An exploratory and descriptive approach is used in the analysis. Computational tools such as the biblioshiny application for R-Bibliometrix and VOSViewer are employed to generate data on years, sources, authors, affiliation, country, documents, co-author, co-citation, and co-occurrence.

Immaturities exist at multiple levels of the developing human visual pathway, starting with immaturities in photon efficiency and spatial sampling in the retina and on through immaturities in early and later stages of cortical processing. Here we use Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs) and controlled visual stimuli to determine the degree to which sensitivity to horizontal retinal disparity is limited by the visibility of the monocular half-images, the ability to encode absolute disparity or the ability to encode relative disparity. Responses were recorded from male and female human participants at average ages of 5.

Background And Objectives: Drug development in schizophrenia is limited by the differential scaling of the active treatment and placebo arms of a study, such that, as the number of sites increases, the magnitude of placebo response disproportionately increases. The objective of this article was to identify factors conducive to efficient recruitment as a step towards trial designs allowing recruitment of more participants per site, leading to reduced variability, and potentially a smaller placebo effect.
Patients And Methods: Using the information of 554 individuals, we calculated the percentage of individuals who were screened, consented, and retained in our research, along with rationale for nonconsent.

Color, an intuitive element affecting human senses, can adapt to the environment of a space, evoke emotional responses, trigger and accumulate visual experiences, and enhance the effectiveness of color in shaping spatial atmosphere and reinforcing spatial divisions. In the context of rapid urban underground space development, examining the rational application of color in underground parking spaces is crucial for improving guidance, comfort, and aesthetics. This exploration is essential for achieving high-quality development in urban underground parking environments.

Pupil responses are commonly used to provide insight into visual perception, autonomic control, cognition, and various brain disorders. However, making inferences from pupil data can be complicated by nonlinearities in pupil dynamics and variability within and across individuals, which challenge the assumptions of linearity or group-level homogeneity required for common analysis methods. In this study, we evaluated luminance evoked pupil dynamics in young healthy adults (n = 10, M:F = 5:5, ages 19-25 years) by identifying nonlinearities, variability, and conserved relationships across individuals to improve the ability to make inferences from pupil data.
