Eye tracking games
This game might be used as an alternative to pharmacologic therapy and may provide new insights into the treatment of ADHD. No changes were found in mouse control between pretest and posttest assessments.Ĭonclusion: RECOGNeyes is a child-friendly, interactive game combined with eye-tracking technology that seems to provide an improvement in the visual attention system, which is especially indicated for ADHD patients. Results: Participants from the eye-tracker group showed an improvement posttest compared to pretest in impulsivity ( P =. The study was conducted from January 2018-June 2018. Different attentional parameters were assessed before and after training. The experimental group played RECOGNeyes with eye-tracker for 3 weeks (3 times/week) at home, while the control group played the game using the mouse. The participants were randomly divided into 2 groups. Methods: The sample included 28 children aged 8-15 years (18 aged < 12 y and 10 aged ≥ 12 y) previously diagnosed with ADHD ( DSM-5 criteria). The game was designed as an intervention for training visual attention in ADHD. This attention control system is underdeveloped not because they lack this capacity but because this ability has not been sufficiently developed. The rationale behind the game is that individuals with ADHD have an underdeveloped attention control system. RECOGNeyes is a computer game that is played using the eyes as the game controller.
Objective: To assess whether the eye-tracking approach of the RECOGNeyes game has potential therapeutic benefits for children with neurodevelopmental disorders, in particular attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
