Eye-Tracking sheds light on brain disorders
NCT ID NCT01495897
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This completed study used eye-tracking to explore how the brain adapts movements in people with dystonia, essential tremor, or Parkinson disease. Researchers measured eye movements before and after a task to look for signs of cerebellar dysfunction. The study included 14 participants and aimed to better understand these movement disorders.
