GlassesOff Inc. (OTCBB:GLSO) today announced that the company’s
scientists will present new data from recent studies at the Annual
Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience. These studies demonstrate that
GlassesOff's proprietary technology shows the potential to improve
visual processing of images in the brain for people who face cluttered
and dynamic environments, such as high-impact sports, driving in
condensed conditions, or simply playing a game on a mobile device
requiring swift responses and actions.
The presentation will include results obtained from two different study
groups: (1) subjects with normal vision; and (2) subjects with
presbyopia (aging eye). In both groups, training with GlassesOff’s
software improved the brain's image processing efficiency under both
temporal and spatial load conditions, leading to improved visual
processing of cluttered and dynamic environments.
“Understanding the underlying mechanisms of both temporal and spatial
loads is crucial for maximizing the benefits of perceptual learning and,
most importantly, how they transfer to other visual functions,” said
Nimrod Madar, CEO of GlassesOff. "We believe that these results indicate
a potential for developing a wide array of pipeline products in areas
such as sports, reading speed and many others.”
The company’s scientists will present the data at 2 pm local time on
November 13, 2013, at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience
in San Diego, California, USA.
