Eye tracking could help virtual reality pain therapy adapt to individual needs
Combining artificial intelligence (AI) with eye tracking in virtual reality could one day help personalize treatment for millions living with chronic pain, according to world-first research from the University of East Anglia.
AI Summary
Scientists at the University of East Anglia have shown that combining artificial intelligence with eye‑tracking technology in virtual reality can detect subtle changes in pupil size and blinking patterns. These metrics reflect how hard the brain is working during VR tasks. The study suggests that such data could one day be used to tailor virtual‑reality pain‑management programs to individual patients, potentially improving treatment for millions of people with chronic pain.
