TECHNICAL PROJECTS

University of Texas at Arlington

EOG based eye movement measure of visual fatigue caused by improper sleep

Designed and Implemented an Eye Fatigue measurement system using BIOPAC by tracking the eye movements under various activities which involves rapid eye movement.

Implemented on Insomniac and healthy subjects and the results were statistically analyzed using statistical software to validate the data and interpretations to study the eye fatigue level.

Auditory Assessment based on EEG using LabVIEW

For auditory assessment in the case of elderly people and infants, they won’t be able to provide any substantial response to the stimulus and in the other case which is of mentally challenged patients; they won’t be willing to give the screening test. Thus, this project helps in reviewing another means to detect the auditory loss so that early and accurate diagnosis is possible.

Analyzed an Auditory evoked potentials (AEP) in the background EEG and plotted an audiogram of the subject for the purpose of diagnosing the subject for a hearing related disorder in real time.
