Patent number: 11304601Abstract: The invention provides methods and kits for detecting, screening, quantifying or localizing the etiology for reduced or impaired cranial nerve function or conduction or associated cranial nucleus or supranuclear input, useful for detecting, diagnosing or screening for increased intracranial pressure, or useful for detecting, diagnosing, monitoring progression of or screening for a disease or condition featuring increased intracranial pressure by tracking eye movement of the subject. The methods may be performed by a) analyzing eye movement of the subject; b) comparing eye movement of the subject to eye movement of a control or the subject's own baseline eye movement; and c) identifying the subject as having eye movement significantly different from the control or the subject's own baseline eye movement.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignees: New York University, The United States of America as Represented by the Department of Veterans AffairsInventors: Uzma Samadani, Shani Offen, Marisa Carrasco-Queijeiro, David Heeger

Patent number: 9867576Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of a system and method can be provided for measuring a level and/or details of how engaging, effective or memorable a stimulus that may be based on information associated with one or more subjects' neuronal, physiological and/or behavioral responses to the stimulus. In addition, an exemplary embodiment of a computer-accessible medium containing executable instructions thereon can also be provided which can be executed by a processing arrangement. For example, when the processing arrangement executes the instructions, the processing arrangement can be configured to, e.g., receive neuronal, physiological and/or behavioral data one or more subjects being presented with stimuli, determine further data associated with a measure of inter-subject similarity of the neuronal, physiological and/or behavioral data, and identify particular portions of the stimuli that meet a pre-determined criteria relating to the further data associated with the measure of inter-subject similarity.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignees: NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, YEDA RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

Patent number: 5804836Abstract: A smart array comprised an array of polymer grid triodes arrayed with a common polymer grid. In a preferred embodiment it is embodied as a conducting polymer device which provides local gain adjustment for video display such that the entire sensor dynamic range available, typically more than 16 bits in the infrared detector case, can be utilized locally to solve the intra-scene contrast problem. The array of polymer grid triodes with common grid can be utilized to process the image in analog form directly on the focal plane. Alternatively, the array of polymer grid triodes with common grid can be utilized to process the image after analog to digital conversion and integrated directly into the display.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 1997Date of Patent: September 8, 1998Assignee: Uniax CorporationInventors: Alan J.
