Pattern-Reversal Visual Evoked Potential on Smart Glasses
Objective:
This paper presents an integrated device, based on smart glasses, for the pattern-reversal visual evoked potential (PR-VEP) clinical test.
Methods:
Smart glasses are used to generate the checkerboard changing pattern, with its related red fixation point through an Android application. Electroencephalographic signals, for monitoring the stimulus generated by PR-VEP, were amplified close to the scalp and then transmitted wirelessly to a PC. A MATLAB real-time algorithm processed the incoming signals to extract the final PR-VEP signal.
Methods:
In total, 40 eyes (from 20 subjects, 12 males and 8 females between 24 and 28 years old) were tested and results were compared, with a commercial device for VEP clinical exam, to test the reproducibility and the efficacy of the proposed solution.
Results:
PR-VEPs generated by smart glasses showed typical triphasic waveforms: We observed promising results and components in moderate agreement with those obtained using commercial PR-VEP recorder, with potential for improvements after further refinement works.
Significance:
The proposed device leads the way for a portable and low-cost solution.
