A pilot study of the Earable device to measure facial muscle and eye movement tasks among healthy volunteers [PDF]
Many neuromuscular disorders impair function of cranial nerve enervated muscles. Clinical assessment of cranial muscle function has several limitations. Clinician rating of symptoms suffers from inter-rater variation, qualitative or semi-quantitative scoring, and limited ability to capture infrequent or fluctuating symptoms.

The effect of stretching on nerve excitability [PDF]
Nerves are frequently stretched during movement. We investigate here the effect of stretch on nerve excitability within the framework of the soliton theory. This thermodynamic theory for nerve pulse propagation relies on the presence of a melting transition in the nerve membrane.
