Augmented reality display system for evaluation and modification of neurological conditions, including visual processing and perception conditions
In some embodiments, a display system comprising a head-mountable, augmented reality display is configured to perform a neurological analysis and to provide a perception aid based on an environmental trigger associated with the neurological condition. Performing the neurological analysis may include determining a reaction to a stimulus by receiving data from the one or more inwardly-directed sensors; and identifying a neurological condition associated with the reaction. In some embodiments, the perception aid may include a reminder, an alert, or virtual content that changes a property, e.g. a color, of a real object. The augmented reality display may be configured to display virtual content by outputting light with variable wavefront divergence, and to provide an accommodation-vergence mismatch of less than 0.5 diopters, including less than 0.25 diopters.

one or more processors; and
one or more computer storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
performing a neurological analysis by:
determining a reaction to a stimulus by receiving data from the one or more outwardly-directed sensors; and
identifying a neurological condition associated with the reaction.
2. The augmented reality display system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
determining a presence of an environmental trigger; and
