Can eye tracking plus deep learning flag Alzheimer’s?
Open access · cc by · source: Europe PMC
On a 210-person 3D visuospatial eye-tracking set, a nested-autoencoder model reached 85% average accuracy distinguishing AD from healthy controls.
Key findings
The proposed network averaged 85% AD-recognition accuracy and beat the comparison ML/DL baselines on the same eye-tracking dataset.
Methodology
Built a 3D visuospatial memory task, recorded eye movements from 108 AD patients and 102 controls, extracted fixation heatmaps, and trained a nested autoencoder with adaptive feature fusion, comparing against traditional ML and typical DL models via four-fold CV (plus ablations).
Limitations
Single-center Chinese clinic sample; 85% is cross-validated accuracy, not a deployed screening claim, and does not replace clinical diagnosis.
