Jeremy Nelson

About

Jeremy David Nelson is a dancer and choreographer with a distinguished career in performance and dance education. He has been a member of the Siobhan Davies Dancers and Second Stride Dance companies in London, as well as the Stephen Petronio Dance Company in New York. Nelson has also danced in the work of Mia Lawrence, David Zambrano, Susan Rethorst, Luis Lara Malvacías, and with improviser Kirstie Simson. His choreography and performance work have earned him notable recognition, including a New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award for outstanding performance and a Guggenheim Fellowship for choreography in 2004. He has been actively presenting and performing his own choreography since 1994, with productions at venues such as Danspace Project, Dance Theater Workshop (now NYLA), PS 122, and the Harkness Dance Festival, as well as international venues in countries including Argentina, Canada, Chile, England, Finland, Germany, Mexico, New Zealand, Japan, Peru, Spain, Slovakia, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Nelson has been commissioned to create works for companies and students across Greece, New Zealand, Venezuela, the UK, and educational institutions such as Connecticut College, SEAD Salzburg, Laban Center England, and the London Contemporary Dance School. Over the past 30 years, he has taught classes and workshops in more than 30 countries at prominent venues including the American Dance Festival, ImPulsTanz, P.A.R.T.S., and the Sasha Waltz Company. From 2009 to 2015, he served…

• Contrast sensitivity loss in multiple sclerosis. Selectivity by eye, orientation, and spatial frequency measured with the evoked potential.

  PubMed · 1984-06-01 · 45 citations

  article

  Multiple sclerosis can produce highly selective losses in visual function. Psychophysical studies have demonstrated contrast sensitivity deficits for spatial frequencies or for stimulus orientations. Using real-time lock-in retrieval of the visual evoked potential, the authors measured contrast sensitivity in 15 cases with probable or definite multiple sclerosis and acuities of 20/40 or better. Sine-wave grating contrast threshold determinations for three spatial frequencies (1, 4, and 8 cycles/…

• The assessment of evoked potential contrast thresholds using real-time retrieval.

  PubMed · 1984-06-01 · 41 citations

  article

  Electrophysiologic contrast sensitivity functions (CSF) have been estimated using lock-in amplifier signal retrieval of the visually evoked response (VER). These CSFs were compared with CSFs obtained psychophysically using the same stimulus conditions. The two measures of contrast sensitivity behave similarly in response to variations of temporal and spatial frequency. The major advantage of using real-time retrieval is speed. Threshold for a single spatiotemporal condition can be estimated in a…

  article1st authorCorresponding

  We discuss the use of synchronous-demodulation (lock-in) techniques for evoked potential retrieval. Application to electronically swept visual displays is emphasized. These techniques permit a visual threshold to be specified in 20 s, but their application to visual assessment requires careful consideration of several problems, notably alleged delay in the instrumentation, specification of the baseline response level, and the nature of EEG interference. In addition, since stimulus waveform infor…
