Eye-Tracking study seeks to uncover hidden attention clues in ADHD and autism
NCT ID NCT06885060
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how eye movements, specifically eye vergence (how eyes work together for depth perception), relate to attention in people with ADHD and autism. Researchers will use computer-based eye-tracking tasks with 200 children and adults to see if these eye patterns can help identify attention differences. The goal is to better understand these conditions, not to test a treatment or device.
