We are thrilled to inform you about the science of eye tracking. Every month, we will keep you updated on the latest news shared by the scientific community.
The newsletter of this month is related to the relevance of eye tracking in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Enjoy the reading!

Eye tracking can provide value during 3 moments in neuromodulation:
Recent studies have identified antisaccades latency as a predictive biomarker to identify the subpopulation of Parkinson’s patients who will develop freezing of gait, up until 5 years in advance
Researchers used objective measurement of saccadic latency to compare the effects of surgery and of stimulation.
Recent studies offer the ability to assess the outcomes of basal ganglia stimulation on eye movement behavior in cognitive as well as in motor domains. Understanding the influence of DBS on ocular motor function also leads to analogies to interpret its effects on complex appendicular and axial motor function.
