Gaze tracking is the technology that identifies a region in space that a user is looking at. Most previous non-wearable gaze tracking systems use a near-infrared (NIR) light camera with an NIR illuminator. Based on the kind of camera lens used, the viewing angle and depth-of-field (DOF) of a gaze tracking camera can be different, which affects the performance of the gaze tracking system. Nevertheless, to our best knowledge, most previous researches implemented gaze tracking cameras without ground truth information for determining the optimal viewing angle and DOF of the camera lens. Eye-tracker manufacturers might also use ground truth information, but they do not provide this in public. Therefore, researchers and developers of gaze tracking systems cannot refer to such information for implementing gaze tracking system. We address this problem providing an empirical study in which we design an optimal gaze tracking camera based on experimental measurements of the amount and velocity of user's head movements. Based on our results and analyses, researchers and developers might be able to more easily implement an optimal gaze tracking system. Experimental results show that our gaze tracking system shows high performance in terms of accuracy, user convenience and interest.

Construction of a prediction model for Alzheimer's disease using an AI-driven eye-tracking task on mobile devices.
Aging Clin Exp Res
December 2024
Department of Gerontology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital, No. 600, Yi Shan Road, Shanghai, 200233, China.
Background: Eye-movement can reflect cognition and provide information on the neurodegeneration, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). The high cost and limited accessibility of eye-movement recordings have hindered their use in clinics.
Aims: We aim to develop an AI-driven eye-tracking tool for assessing AD using mobile devices with embedded cameras.
New eye tracking metrics system: the value in early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.
Front Psychiatry
December 2024
Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, United States.
Background: Eye tracking (ET) is emerging as a promising early and objective screening method for autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but it requires more reliable metrics with enhanced sensitivity and specificity for clinical use.
Methods: This study introduces a suite of novel ET metrics: Area of Interest (AOI) Switch Counts (ASC), Favorable AOI Shifts (FAS) along self-determined pathways, and AOI Vacancy Counts (AVC), applied to toddlers and preschoolers diagnosed with ASD. The correlation between these new ET metrics and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) scores via linear regression and sensitivity and specificity of the cut-off scores were assessed to predict diagnosis.
Gaze Patterns During Evaluation of Facial Attractiveness: An Eye-Tracking Investigation.
Laryngoscope
December 2024
Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, U.S.A.
Background: Objective, controlled eye-tracking measurement of gaze patterns during layperson evaluation of facial attractiveness is currently lacking.
Objectives: To objectively investigate (1) where on the face laypeople direct their attention when assessing attractiveness compared with a control group, and (2) whether increased fixation on certain facial regions is associated with high attractiveness ratings.
Methods: Lay observers viewed a cohort of 40 faces with a diverse age, sex, and racial distribution.
Exploring the Relationship Between Drivers' Stationary Gaze Entropy and Situation Awareness in a Level-3 Automation Driving Simulation.
Proc Hum Factors Ergon Soc Annu Meet
September 2024
University of Waterloo, ON, Canada.
The transition period from automation to manual, known as the takeover process, presents challenges for drivers due to the deficiency in collecting requisite contextual information. The current study collected drivers' eye movement in a simulated takeover experiment, and their Situation Awareness (SA) was assessed using the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (SAGAT) method. The drivers' Stationary Gaze Entropy (SGE) was calculated based on the percentages of time they spent on six pre-defined Areas of Interests (AOIs).

Medical imaging, particularly radiography, is an indispensable part of diagnosing many chest diseases. Final diagnoses are made by radiologists based on images, but the decision-making process is always associated with a risk of incorrect interpretation. Incorrectly interpreted data can lead to delays in treatment, a prescription of inappropriate therapy, or even a completely missed diagnosis.
