Summary

This study explores whether a simple, non-invasive eye-tracking test using virtual reality can detect early cognitive decline in people with Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, or depression-related memory problems. Researchers will measure how pupils react during memory and attention tasks, comparing results across 140 participants over six months. The goal is to develop a practical tool for earlier and more objective diagnosis of cognitive disorders.
