Abstract: A device for the stimulation of the visual system includes a body having a pair of spaced lobes configured to conform to the periocular region. The body has a first side and an opposed second side. The body second side has an adhesive layer for securing the body to the periocular region. A light emitting source disposed within each of the pair of lobes to selectively illuminate the periocular region.

Abstract: The present invention describes a novel device for the stimulation of the visual system for the purpose of recording evoked responses. The specific features of the device are particularly relevant to the elicitation of such responses in uncooperative subjects including the mentally impaired, young children, and those under the influence of anesthesia.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method for utilizing marine mollusks in a novel assay for screening candidate substances for anti-epileptic/anti-seizure/anti-convulsant activity. The purpose of the invention is to facilitate the discovery of new treatments for neurological and mental diseases. In particular the use of a larval settlement assay using the genus Haliotis is detailed. As a natural extension of the current invention is the use of known abalone settlement inducers as novel anti-convulsant.
