People who are unable to hear acoustic alarm signals because they have a complete or partial hearing loss must rely on visual or tactile signals to warn them in the event of an emergency. However, consumers report that personal smoke detector devices which provide a visual alarm do not wake people reliably. We examined the ability of visual alerting devices to wake people from the deepest stage...

BACKGROUND What patients expect to happen during treatment or benefit from the treatment might influence the subsequent factors such as treatment outcome, patient satisfaction, patient's cooperation as well as compliance. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the role of patients' expectations from orthodontic treatment. METHODS A systematic literature search of four databases Pubmed...

Background: The importance of vision and its impact upon an athlete’s performance has long been recognized by elite athletic communities. In recent decades, stroboscopic training methods have developed to help train athletes from a visual, perceptual, cognitive perspective using strobe glasses. Objective: Herein comprehensive literature review was conducted investigate the effectiveness glasses...

The aim of this study was to directly detect spectral components of the magnetic fields of ionic currents caused by firing of the axons in the optic nerve in response to visual strobe stimulation. The magnetic field parallel to the main B0 field can potentially alter the local phase and magnitude of the MR signal which can cause signal loss due to intravoxel dephasing. Measured frequency spectr...

Capturing images in low light intensity, and preserving ambient light in such conditions pose significant problems in terms of achievable image quality. Either the sensitivity of the sensor must be increased, filling the resulting image with noise, or the scene must be lit with artificial light, destroying the aesthetic quality of the image. While the issue has been previously tackled for still...
