Effects of recording sequence on flicker electroretinographics recorded with natural pupils corrected for pupil area
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: A new handheld electroretinographic (ERG) recording system can record ERGs without mydriasis. However, this RETeval system cannot record ERGs from both eyes simultaneously. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine whether the sequence of the ERG recordings will alter the results. METHODS: We studied 30 eyes of 30 healthy subjects. The flicker ERGs were recorded with the RETeval system without mydriasis and were elicited by 8, 16 and 32 photopic Td-s. The flicker ERGs were recorded at two sessions. Session 1, the ERGs were recorded from the right eye and then the left eye, and Session 2, ERGs were recorded from the left eye then the right eye. We compared the implicit times, amplitudes and pupil diameters of the right eye between these two sessions. RESULTS: The implicit time of the flicker ERGs was significantly shorter (p < 0.001), and the pupil diameters were significantly smaller (p = 0.013) at Session 2 than Session 1 but only for the lower stimulus intensity of eight Td-s. There was a significant correlation of the differences in the implicit times and the differences in the pupil diameter between the two sessions (r = 0.406, p = 0.026). CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that the implicit times of the fundamental components of RETeval flicker ERGs can be affected by the sequence of recordings for lower stimulus intensities. This was most likely due to the differences of the pupil diameter during the recordings. We recommend that stronger stimuli be used to record the RETeval flicker ERGs to minimize the effects of the sequence of recordings.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
