GlassesOff Inc. 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.
About GlassesOff™
GlassesOff Inc. (OTCBB:GLSO) is a public company developing and commercializing next generation vision sharpness applications. GlassesOff has developed a proprietary, patent-protected technology platform to improve near vision sharpness, by improving the image processing function in the visual cortex of the brain, without changing the optical characteristics of the eye. The GlassesOff™ product aims to eliminate the dependency on reading glasses of people over the age of 40 who experience natural age-related changes in their near vision sharpness. The GlassesOff™ product is expected to be sold initially as an iPhone/iPad app, and was named one of the top Emerging Breakthroughs in Science and Technology for 2013 by Reader’s Digest Magazine.
