Application of eye tracking in medicine: A survey, research issues and challenges

The performance and quality of medical procedures and treatments are inextricably linked to technological development. The application of more advanced techniques provides the opportunity to gain wider knowledge and deeper understanding of the human body and mind functioning. The eye tracking methods used to register eye movement to find the direction and targets of a person's gaze are well in line with the nature of the topic. Such information is useful not only in revealing abnormalities in eye functioning and thus ensuring appropriate therapy but also in cognitive studies focused on learning about peoples ’ emotions, intentions and how they utilize their knowledge and skills.
