Visual stimulus
Contrast, spatial frequency, orientation, element spacing, noise and stimulus timing.
NAYIR FOR RESEARCHERS
Your research question.
A protocol we build together.
Collaborate on visual-training studies with greater control over treatment variables and comparison groups. We have open questions and are looking for partners to investigate them.
Discuss your studyFROM A QUESTION TO A TESTABLE DESIGN
Control the variable.
Understand its effect.
We review variables and measurements together and establish what is available and what needs development before the study begins.
Protocol structure
Exercise count, order, duration and training days; specify what stays fixed and what differs between groups.
Groups and comparisons
Design protocols for research groups comparing a specified variable, with baseline and follow-up measurements.
Interpretable measurements
Select outcomes that match the question: clinic BCVA, CSF, cutSF or scoped experimental E/Vernier collections.
QUESTIONS TO INVESTIGATE TOGETHER
Protocols that start
with a real question.
Open research questions to develop into protocols with your team. We can also start with your own question.
Does varied practice improve transfer?
One repeated task versus a task mix, keeping total dose constant.
Does dose distribution matter?
Compare session schedules in an approved study, distinguishing adherence from planned dose.
For whom does improvement persist?
Follow participants after training and study the relationship between baseline, change and retention.
A CLEAR BASIS FOR COLLABORATION
More than changing
an exercise setting.
Defined, versioned protocols
Document variables and execution rules before data collection so comparisons remain interpretable.
The device is part of the design
Screen size, viewing distance and display characteristics affect the stimulus; qualification depends on the intended measurements.
Agree the data from the start
Agree response, adherence and measurement fields, delivery and de-identification within the study arrangement.
Research led by its study team
Finalize the study design, ethics approval, informed consent and data-access conditions before execution.
YOUR NEXT STEP
Have a research question? Let’s work on it.
Send your question, target population and initial design. Together, we can define the protocol, measurements and feasibility.
We are currently welcoming participants through the NAYIR research program.
