Assessment of Visual Function With a Portable Brain-computer Interface

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Glaucoma, Age Related Macular Degeneration, Optic Neuropathy, Retinal Degeneration

In brief

1. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the nGoggle's accuracy and repeatability in detecting visual function loss. In addition, the ability to stage glaucomatous damage and investigate the relationship between nGoggle metrics and neural damage in glaucoma will also be evaluated. 2. Longitudinal study, including 200 patients with: glaucoma, suspected of having glaucoma, nonglaucomatous optic neuropathies, AMD, retinal degenerations, other diseases involving the visual pathways, besides healthy controls. Subjects will perform standard ophthalmological exams, and the following research tests: electroencephalogram, visual evoked potentials, and questionnaires. 3. Statistical analyses will be performed by the PI using the software Stata, MATLAB, and MPLUS. Risks are low, consisting of some discomfort, fatigue, dizziness or motion sickness.
