Projects -> Health Assessment

Goal: Find eye movement-based biomarkers that allow accurately and reliably assess various health states in a person.

Motivation: Many health conditions manifest themselves in the degradation of the function of the Human Visual System. Existing technologies frequently require expensive measuring devices and a time-consuming visit to a doctor to find out the onset of a specific condition. We would like to identify a subset of eye movement-based biomarkers that can signal different health conditions even by an inexpensive eye tracking device and a fast eye movement test. Employment of Ocular Biometric framework that takes into account individual eye movement signature of a person targets to increase the accuracy of health assessment.

Project Status: Looking for students interested in the project. The students will participate in the eye movement recording, data analysis, and creating algorithms for health assessment.
