Development of an Eye Model With a Physiological Blink Mechanism

Vision: In the Blink of an Eye

Although we blink every 4 to 6 seconds, we notice neither the act of blinking nor the mini-blackouts they cause. A new study using imaging techniques identifies the neural structures in humans involved in suppressing vision processing and visual awareness during blinking.

Recovery in the Blink of an Eye

Sensory deprivation sheds light on cortical plasticity mechanisms, but recovery of lost brain function may bear the greatest clinical relevance. Ramoa and colleagues now find that binocular recovery from monocular occlusion can be extraordinarily rapid, independent of protein synthesis, and precise. Reactivation of latent connections may then reverse amblyopia.

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

A Brain Stem Reflex in the Blink of an Eye

T here are at least three types of blinks, reflex, spontaneous, and voluntary, that can lower the lid as little as a few micrometers or completely close the eyes. Reflex blinks protect the eye, rapidly lowering the upper eyelid in response to an assortment of stimuli that could damage or signal damage to the eye. Because reflex blinks also occur in response to cornea1 drying, reflex blinks help...
