Assessment of changes in gaze patterns during training in point-of-care ultrasound

Using Tobii Pro Nano, Chan and colleagues (2022) measured the incremental learning after an ultrasound course. Two groups of first-year medicine residents interpreted ultrasound videos while their eye movements were recorded. After the first assessment, only the intervention group completed an introductory ultrasound course.

Maternal postpartum depression impacts infants’ joint attention differentially across cultures

Astor and colleagues (2022) assessed whether the negative association between maternal postpartum depression and infant development of joint attention is the same across western and non-western cultures. Researchers used Tobii Pro Nano to record the eye movements of Bhutanese infants and compared them to Swedish infants performing the same task.

How does wearing a facecover influence the eye movement pattern in times of COVID-19?

Frank and colleagues (2021) studied the effect on visual behavior when looking at someone wearing a face mask and how that affects the identification of facial features. Tobii Pro Nano was used to record eye movements. The results revealed that the sequence of focusing on facial regions — mouth, nose, and eyes — was not altered by the presence of a face mask.
