Virtual reality-based eye tracking in mild traumatic brain injury
The University of Auckland is conducting a study for people with mild traumatic brain injuries. The study examines if virtual reality eye tracking tests can pick up changes in eye movements in people with mild concussions as opposed to healthy people.
What's involved?
The study involves having your eye movements tested in virtual reality. You will sit wearing a virtual reality headset. A small camera will record the movements of your eyes while you complete seven short eye tests twice. These tests will take about 10-15 minutes to complete.
Eligibility criteria
To participate in this study, you must
- Be aged 18 years or above
- Have had a mild concussion in the last three months.
You may not be eligible to participate if you have a condition that is known to affect eye movements, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD), stroke, or cranial nerve palsy, or vision loss in one or both eyes that
is not corrected to normal via glasses or contact lenses.
