Description

Jiaqi Song, Weihua Yu, and Yang Lu report a 2025 study that uses eye movement to help sort three levels of thinking health. The levels are normal skills, mild loss, and dementia from Alzheimer's disease. Telling these apart with machine learning has been hard to do well. The team recorded eye data from two hundred and fifty-eight people across the three groups. They then trained several kinds of model on the eye measures.

The best model sorted the three groups with close to seven in ten people placed right. Five eye measures mattered most for the sorting. Those measures also tracked with test scores for focus, memory, word use, and daily tasks. The authors say eye tracking is fast and easy to run in a clinic. It could serve as a helpful extra tool, not a stand-alone test, for doctors.
