Visual discrimination training improves Humphrey perimetry in chronic cortically induced blindness
Conclusions: In adults with chronic cortical visual impairment, the blind field border appears to have enhanced plastic potential, which can be recruited by gaze-controlled visual discrimination training to expand the visible field. Our findings underscore a critical need for future studies to measure the effects of vision restoration approaches on perimetry in larger cohorts of patients.

Time from Consult Page to Tissue Plasminogen Activator Over Telemedicine Decreases with Experience (P3.105)
Conclusions:TPA metrics improve with increasing number of telestroke consults for neurovascular fellows and neurovascular attendings. PTNT improves by 1 min for approximately every 14 telestroke consults. Our findings support the importance of integrating telestroke training into a supervised neurovascular fellowship to increase neurovascular fellow proficiency in telestroke prior to independent practice.Disclosure: Dr. Jagolino has nothing to disclose.

Historical Perspective of Cambodian Medicine with a focus on Neurology (P2.051)
Conclusions:The Keck School of Medicine of USC received a grant from World Federation of Neurology, which allowed faculty to travel to Cambodia and teach the clinical and diagnostic aspects of neurology over the course of two years. We expect a neurology residency to start in 2017 to help the patient population that suffers from stroke, seizure disorders and various other types of neurological disorders. Even though the past has had its rough patches, the future has untapped potential.Study Supported by: This study was supported by World Federation of Neurology.Disclosure: Dr. Singh has nothing to disclose.

Diagnostic Challenges due to Atypical presentations of CMT in Charcot Marie Tooth Disease type 4C associated with SH3TC2 mutations (P5.124)
Conclusions:Our results suggest that certain mutations in the SH3TC2 gene can present with clinical features atypical of classic presentations of CMT. These atypical features have been described previously, and our results confirm the diagnostic challenge associated with CMT 4C.Study Supported by:This work was supported by intramural funding from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), NIH (AM).

Feasibility of Google Glass for Remote Resident Supervision and Evaluation (P1.039)
Conclusions:This pilot feasibility study is a first step in applying mobile telemedicine using GG for remote supervision and evaluation of neurology residents. Early experiences suggest good technical feasibility and patient acceptance. Primary outcome analysis of inter-rater agreement between in-person and remote (GG) evaluation of the NIHSS and NEX assessments is pending.Study Supported by: This study receives support from an American Academy of Neurology Education Grant, as well as from an American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Faculty Fellowship Award.Disclosure: Dr. Carrera has nothing to disclose.

Non-Neurologist Self Assessment of Emergency Neurology Proficiency and Interest in a Novel Intensive Stroke and Neurocritical Care Training Program: The X-CHANGE Program (P1.045)
Conclusions:Hospital based non-neurology physicians have significant exposure to critically ill neurological patients. Many are not comfortable with important fundamental skills, such as the neurological exam. There is strong interest in a proposed intensive training program emphasizing bedside teaching. Based upon these results, we are developing a formal intensive training program for practicing non -neurology physicians called the "Cross-disciplinary Cerebrovascular HospitAl NeuroloGy Education" program.Disclosure: Dr. Yee has nothing to disclose.

A motor rehabilitation BCI with multi-modal feedback in chronic stroke patients (P5.300)
Conclusions:BCI accuracy is an objective marker of a patient’s participation in the task; 50% means that patient doesn’t follow (or cannot follow) the task. This patient’s continued improvement and high final accuracy indicates motivated participation. Most importantly, there was objective improvement in motor function within only 25 training sessions. We attribute these results to the conditionally gated reward from the BCI (inducing Hebbian plasticity), and mirror neuron system activation by the avatar.Disclosure: Dr. Guger has received personal compensation for activities with g.tec Medical Engineering...
