Publication number: 20250082254Abstract: The system and methods described herein diagnose the semantic processing capability of a subject by measuring the neural response of the subject to one or more naturalistic speech stimuli. The system measures the subject's temporal response function to the naturalistic speech by computing a statistical comparison between the subject's neural signal and a time series of semantic metric values corresponding to a transcript of the naturalistic speech stimulus. A diagnosis of the subject's semantic processing capability is then made based on an evaluation of the statistical comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2022Publication date: March 13, 2025Inventors: Sudhin A. Shah, Nicholas D. SCHIFF, Nicholas Jeremy Hill, James A. O'Sullivan, Edmund C. Lalor

Patent number: 11122999Abstract: The present system can measure eye gaze position and detect, in near real-time, smooth eye movements that are driven by a moving stimulus. Smooth movements that match the velocity of a moving stimulus provide evidence that the subject can see the moving stimulus. The present system can give real-time feedback to the user, for example in the form of music, contingent on the ability of the user to perform smooth velocity-matched eye movements. The present system can measure visual impairment and train visual ability both for rehabilitation and development purposes.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: CORNELL UNIVERSITYInventors: Nicholas Jeremy Hill, Glen T.

Publication number: 20200121179Abstract: Contrast sensitivity is an informative measure of visual function, but current tools for assessing it are limited by the attentional, motor, and communicative abilities of the participant. These participants are often less able to engage with psychophysical tasks or follow an experiment's instructions, and alternative approaches have disadvantages that limit their usefulness in clinical settings. Here, we describe an efficient new measure of contrast sensitivity—‘Curveball’—that continuously infers stimulus visibility through smooth eye tracking instead of perceptual report. The procedure rapidly lowers stimulus contrast in real time until the threshold is found. The task is repeatable, well-correlated with results from conventional psychophysical methods, and sensitive to improvements in visual acuity from refractive correction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2019Publication date: April 23, 2020Inventors: Glen Prusky, Scott William Joseph Mooney, Nicholas Jeremy Hill
