The device could track involuntary movements of one eye (there was a patch ...
Normal oral mucosa is a red-pink color due to the underlying vasculature in the lamina propria showing through the thin layer of epithelium. Melanin produced in the oral mucosa also influences the color, with a darker appearance being created by higher levels of melanin in the tissues (associated with racial/physiologic pigmentation, or with ...
