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.
