Advanced Studies of Visual Perception

We are developing software intended for advanced testing of visual function. Our current solutions utilize a VR headaset with eyetracking and pupillometry sensors that can display real-world scenarios and detect the subjects’ fixations and pupil reactions to different visual stimuli in a 3D environment.

We want to add OpenBCI to our solutions in order to gather brain responses to to the visual stimuli. This will add important information on the subjects’ reactions at a higher level and will be able to measure visual repsonses in the primary visual cortex as well as higher brain functions, such as emotions and cognitive load. We will develop software that will employ AI to decipher the patterns of different brain responses and create a user-friendly output.

The gathered knowledge will help us understand how we perceive the visual world and will be applicable in several areas, such as medicine, advertising and game development.

We are collaborating with the VR Lab at the University Medical Centre (UMC) Ljubljana, where our software is being used for studies of visual perception on healthy participants and patients with different forms of visual impairment.

Our software is listed at our website https://synthesius.com/ and some of the projects that implement our solutions are listed at the UMC Ljubljana website, which will be updated with the projects involving BCI in the future: kclj.si/index.php?dir=/divisions__departments/independent_units/department_of_ophthalmology/virtual_reality_lab

The results of one of the studies have also been published at the Ophthalmology conference ARVO in 2022 iovs.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2779457
