We collected, stained and imaged cells from the conjunctiva of the inner eyelid margin of human subjects. By characterizing cell morphology and metabolic activity, this method may further our understanding of dry eye and the role that friction between the ocular surfaces may play in perceiving ocular discomfort.

Source: Laboratories of Judith Danovitch and Nicholaus Noles—University of Louisville A person is defined as a unique individual based on the people and events they encounter in their lives. Thus, creating, storing, and recalling memories are essential elements of the human experience. However, memory, as adults experience it, takes time to develop. Although young children can learn facts and remember details of their lives from moment-to-moment and day-to-day, they do not create...

A device was created to demonstrate electromyography-based control to a lay audience. After the success of the initial device, a second device was made with greater flexibility in functionality for demonstration and research purposes. This protocol describes the process of building and calibrating both devices.

This manuscript provides an updated remote supervision protocol that enables participation in transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) clinical trials while receiving treatment sessions from home. The protocol has been successfully piloted in both patients with multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.
FAQs
Repeated exposure can shift responses through three linked processes: learning improves familiarity with fit and operation, habituation reduces reactions driven mainly by novelty, and adaptation changes how the wearer accommodates sensory effects. As a result, later observations may better reflect sustained comfort, task performance, adherence, or interaction patterns than first-use reactions.
Experienced wearers provide a reference for separating short-lived novelty effects from more stable behavioral effects. If a response appears only among less familiar users, it may reflect initial unfamiliarity rather than the wearable system itself. Comparing groups with different prior-use histories can clarify whether a design change alters established behavior or merely changes first impressions.
Prior experience can change how people respond when a device, garment, or worn technology introduces unfamiliar fit or sensory effects. Established users may encounter less novelty-related disruption, while a new design or condition can reveal whether adaptation transfers. This helps researchers examine changes in comfort, performance, adherence, and interaction rather than relying on a single response.
Researchers can treat prior use as a meaningful part of the study context rather than an incidental detail. They should relate participants’ familiarity with fit, operation, and sensory effects to outcomes such as comfort, task performance, adherence, and interaction patterns. This framing helps interpret whether observed behavior reflects ongoing adaptation, reduced novelty, or a response to the system.
Experienced wearers are especially useful in usability testing, human-factors research, and accessibility evaluation. Their responses can show whether a wearable remains comfortable and manageable after novelty has diminished. Findings can guide development of systems that people use safely, consistently, and effectively, while also revealing whether a new design changes established patterns of use.
Comparisons can show how prior use changes responses when the design or wearing condition changes. Researchers can distinguish effects associated with established familiarity from effects that emerge under the new configuration, then examine consequences for comfort, performance, adherence, and interaction. This makes experienced-wearer data useful for judging whether a modification produces a stable behavioral difference or a transient reaction.
