First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary

Researchers will use special glasses to track eye movements while participants perform visual tasks. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to screen for mild cognitive impairment or dementia. The study does not offer treatment but aims to gather data for future research.
