  • Publication number: 20230263386
    Abstract: A method of identifying individuals impaired by a psychoactive substance such as cannabis. The method includes presenting monocularly to a subject being tested; to each eye separately, a sinusoidal grating pattern of fixed spatial frequency with achromatic contrast or color contrast between grating stripes being temporally alternately modulated at a temporal frequency that ranges between 10 Hz and 60 Hz with a pattern of the contrast being such that the subject being tested can see a frequency doubling in the grating pattern.

  • Publication number: 20210349074
    Abstract: A method of obtaining and processing a tear sample from an individual, includingobtaining a sample of tears from an individual by use of a flexible tapered polymer structure having opening at a distal end thereof, the opening having a diameter of less than 1 millimeter and placing the distal end of the flexible tapered polymer structure into contact with the tears adjacent the eye and applying negative pressure to the flexible tapered polymer structure. The method further includes buffering the sample of tears by addition of a buffering solution, analyzing the sample of tears to identify cannabinoids within the sample of tears; and presenting results of analysis of the sample of tears.
