Please explain what infrared reflectance oculography is. What it is, what it looks like, what it is use for.  

Answer 1

infrared reflectance oculography

Drowsy driving is believed to be a major factor in road crashes, but currently cannot be assessed accurately. A new system of infrared (IR) reflectance oculography is described that uses transducers attached to a glasses frame to measure drivers' drowsiness continuously on a new scale (JDS). Driving in a car simulator was investigated in relation to JDS scores per minute.

Multiple regression analysis of ocular variables, measured every minute in alert and drowsy conditions, was used to establish the drowsiness scale (JDS). Driving off the road in the driving simulator was the criterion for dangerous driving by 8 sleep-deprived drivers.

It is possible to measure drivers’ drowsiness continuously by IR oculography using the new JDS scale which does not require adjustment for individuals or the attachment of electrodes.
