MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641044140 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 7, for 'sonicgaze goggles for gaze stabilization.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Sasidhar. S; Dr. Santhana Lakshmi. S; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The SonicGaze goggles are used to simultaneously stimulate the visual and the auditory stimulation via sound cues for the hemineglect individual with the lesion in the nondominant hemisphere of the cerebral cortex. Prism adaptation treatment (PAT) is one of the most empirically supported interventions for left-sided spatial hemineglect. PAT consists of a series of brief sessions in which participants wear goggles fitted with binocular unidirectional prisms. While these goggles use both the visual adaptation by means of cheap glasses and auditory stimulation for the sound cues. The goggles cause an ipsilesional optical deviation, which results in an ipsilesional motor error during ADL activities. And the sound cues used in this invention stimulate the auditory senses and make them see on the ipsilateral side by blocking the auditory stimulation to the contralateral side with cotton plugged into the side of the contralateral ear. It was the integration of two stimuli simultaneously which became the easier and more recent advancement in the field of neurological rehabilitation. And also, this glass border was surrounded by the soft silicon pads for the comfortable around the orbit. These makes the invention more comfortable for the individual with hemineglect and also for the gaze impaired individuals. Unlike usual prism glass, these use an integrative stimulus for the individual."
