Scientists Combine Brain Magnetic Fields, Eye-Tracking to Control Computers Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/science/202103011082217014-scientists-combine-brain-magnetic-fields-eye-tracking-to-control-computers/ Researchers from the Moscow State University of Psychology & Education (MSUPE) are developing a unique gaze-based system to control a computer with "the power of thought". According to its creators, the system based on reading the brain's magnetic fields may facilitate the use of computers by disabled persons. The study's results were published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience. Gaze-based computer control is increasingly being used by paralysed people, and the "eye control" function is even included as a standard feature in some operating systems, MSUPE researchers said. An eye-gaze tracking device, an eye tracker, is used for this purpose. The eye tracker detects the position of the user's pupil with a video camera and calculates what spot on the screen the user is looking at. "Mouse clicks" are replaced by dwelling one's gaze on certain screen sections.
