Article Abstract
Objectives: This study investigated video eye tracking (VET) in comatose patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Methods: We recruited healthy participants and unresponsive patients with TBI. We surveyed the patients' clinicians on whether the patient was tracking and performed the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R). We recorded eye movements in response to motion of a finger, a face, a mirror, and an optokinetic stimulus using VET glasses. Patients were classified as covert tracking (tracking on VET alone) and overt tracking (VET and clinical examination). The ability to obey commands was evaluated at 6-month follow-up.
Results: We recruited 20 healthy participants and 10 patients with TBI. The use of VET was feasible in all participants and patients. Two patients demonstrated covert tracking (CRS-R of 6 and 8), 2 demonstrated overt tracking (CRS-R of 22 and 11), and 6 patients had no tracking (CRS-R of 8, 6, 5, 7, 6, and 7). Five of 56 (9%) tracking assessments were missed on clinical examination. All patients with tracking recovered consciousness at follow-up, whereas only 2 of 6 patients without tracking recovered at follow-up.
Discussion: VET is a feasible method to measure covert tracking. Future studies are needed to confirm the prognostic value of covert tracking.

To investigate how the human brain encodes the complex dynamics of natural languages, any viable and reproducible analysis pipeline must rely on either manual annotations or natural language processing (NLP) tools, which extract relevant physical (e.g., acoustic, gestural), and structure-building information from speech and language signals.

Visual attention prioritizes relevant stimuli in complex environments through top-down (goal-directed) and bottom-up (stimulus-driven) mechanisms within cortical networks. This review explores the neural mechanisms underlying visual attention, focusing on how attentional control is encoded and decoded from prefrontal signals in both spatial and temporal domains. Decoding methods enable real-time tracking of covert visual attention from prefrontal activity with high spatial and temporal resolution, as a neurophysiological proxy of the attentional spotlight.

The cerebellum plays a key role in temporal processing, as demonstrated by sensorimotor synchronization paradigms. This study extends findings by investigating behavioral and neural adaptation to unpredictable auditory perturbations. Sixteen persons with cerebellar impairment and sixteen healthy controls performed a listening (60 seconds) and a finger-tapping task (465 seconds) to a metronome set at 1.

Here, we examined the neural correlates of success and precision in a test of memory for spatial location. The present study extended prior findings by employing an experimental design that minimized temporal overlap between mnemonic and visuomotor processing.

The device, built on a quartz substrate with indium tin oxide electrodes, maintains over 70% transparency in the visible range, enabling stealthy operation. By modulating light duration, intensity, and frequency, we achieve key neuromorphic behaviors.
