Abstract
This paper presents an integrated device, based on smart glasses, for the pattern-reversal visual evoked potential (PR-VEP) clinical test. Smart glasses are used to generate the checkerboard changing pattern, with its related red fixation point through an Android application. Electroencephalographic signals, for monitoring the stimulus generated by PR-VEP, were amplified close to the scalp and then transmitted wirelessly to a PC. A MATLAB real-time algorithm processed the incoming signals to extract the final PR-VEP signal. In total, 40 eyes (from 20 subjects, 12 males and 8 females between 24 and 28 years old) were tested and results were compared, with a commercial device for VEP clinical exam, to test the reproducibility and the efficacy of the proposed solution. PR-VEPs generated by smart glasses showed typical triphasic waveforms: We observed promising results and components in moderate agreement with those obtained using commercial PR-VEP recorder, with potential for improvements after further refinement works. The proposed device leads the way for a portable and low-cost solution.
