Abstract

Eye-tracking allows for non-invasive examination and the same eyetrackers are becoming more available, thus its popularity in medical diagnosis and other fields of application is increasing. The paper presents the possibilities for using eye-tracking in the diagnosis neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson or Alzheimer diseases. The autor describes the exetracking experiment, the model of fixations and saccedes detection, as well as the selected examples of eye-tracking research conducted among patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
