Eye movements read by a new AI application can reveal thoughts, memories, goals -- and brain diseases. A new tool developed at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Norway and described in an article in Nature Neuroscience, predicts gaze direction and eye movement directly from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The goal is to make eye tracking diagnostics a standard in brain imaging research and hospital clinics. Whenever you explore an environment or search for something, you scan the scene using continuous rapid eye movements. Your eyes also make short stops to fixate on certain elements of the scene that you want more detailed information about.
