  1. 1. Evaluation of the infrared reflection method for saccadic eye movement velocity analysis

    Author : Frank Träisk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Infrared reflection; Scleral search coil; Saccade; Main sequence; Eye-tracking.;

    Abstract : Saccades are rapid eye movements that change the orientation of the eyes onto objects of interest. In an every day situation saccadic eye movements are used for e.g. reading, scanning objects and enviromnents. READ MORE

    Abstract : Background: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) affects 3–8% of women in fertile ages. Combined oral contraceptives (OCs) are widely used and some users experience adverse mood effects. The cyclicity of PMDD symptoms coincides with increased endogenous levels of allopregnanolone after ovulation. READ MORE
