4 methods to assess Alzheimer’s with eye tracking
This learn article presents four ways eye tracking could aid early Alzheimer’s assessment.
Learn moreEye tracking elucidates disease development by capturing subtle changes in eye movements linked to brain and eye disorders. It aids clinical researchers in identifying new biomarkers and creating assessment tools.
Eye tracking allows studying changes in cognitive and oculomotor functions and viewing behavior in diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Our plug-and-play eye trackers are fast to calibrate and can robustly track eye movements while allowing for comfortable seating without head fixation. This is crucial for the elderly participants, who might suffer from tremors or degenerative cervical spine changes.

Learn moreResearchers from the National University of Colombia (UNAL) analyzed eye movement in seven patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Learn moreKarolinska Institute explored the possibility of using eye tracking as a prospective diagnostic tool for Parkinson’s disease, and their quest yielded exciting results.
Learn moreEye tracking research contributes to a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of various neurological conditions, such as Rett and Tourette syndrome, traumatic brain injury, or stroke. It can help elucidate the neural pathways involved in oculomotor control, cognitive function, and sensory processing and how these functions may be disrupted in different disorders.

Studies show that people with social anxiety pay more attention to negative facial expressions. An eye tracking study confirmed this theory and revealed that training people to focus on positive stimuli can lead to a reduction in this bias.
Learn moreAt the Rett Syndrome Center at Montefiore, NY, eye tracking technology was used to compare patterns of visual processing in Rett syndrome patients and non-Rett control subjects.
Learn moreDownload this white paper to discover how measuring eye movements can provide insights into various brain conditions and aid early disease detection.
Learn moreEye tracking can be used to study eye diseases like glaucoma, lazy eye, and strabismus. The technology helps researchers quantify eye movement patterns related to visual perception, reading behaviors, and the effect of eye treatment and medications. This research can advance understanding of eye disorders and develop more effective treatments.
Discover how Tobii eye trackers are used to study Ophthalmology.
The University of Zaragoza latest research focuses on eye tracking applications in the field of optometry and ophthalmology. Using Tobii Pro Fusion, the team validated two eye tracking-based optometric tests.
Learn moreCardiff University's School of Optometry and Vision Sciences used eye tracking from Tobii to explore eye movement in people with sight issues. The researchers looked at how environmental factors affected vision deficits.
Learn moreThis study focuses on eye movement disorders, in particular nystagmus, and the possibility of using eye tracking as an established form of diagnosis tool.
Learn moreJospe and colleagues (2022) further investigated why strokes can lead to a decline in emotional understanding. They assessed patients with chronic damage in the left and right hemispheres. The researchers used an empathic accuracy naturalistic task together with eye tracking methods with Tobii Pro Fusion to explore patient understanding of the effect of others.
Orduna-Hospital and colleagues (2023) assessed optical and motor changes associated with near vision reading under different light conditions of electronic screens. The study participants read a text of varying luminance levels while movements were recorded with Tobii Pro Fusion eye tracker. The study results showed differences in saccade eye movements influenced by the configuration and luminance levels of the screen.
Milte and colleagues (2023) used Tobii Pro Fusion to understand how older people in residential care homes fill out a quality-of-life questionnaire. While completing the questionnaires, they investigated differences between individuals with and without cognitive impairment. The study results provided novel insights into the assessment in older people where cognitive impairment is highly prevalent.
