👁️ New research! 🧠
We’re excited to share a newly published study co-authored by Dr. Daniel Demian:
“Increased Performance Error Rate in Saccadometry with Advanced Age”
Published in Neuro-Ophthalmology, the study explored how our rapid eye movements — called saccades — change with healthy aging.
Using advanced video eye-tracking technology, the researchers found that adults aged 70–79 demonstrated more directional and overall errors during saccadometry compared with adults aged 60–69.
Why is this important?
Eye movements provide measurable information about how the brain coordinates vision, attention and movement. But to recognize when something is abnormal, clinicians first need to understand how healthy performance changes across the lifespan.
Research like this helps build better age-specific reference data and improves how quantitative neurological testing can be interpreted in the clinic.
Congratulations to Chia-Cheng Lin, Daniel Demian, Wesly Collier, Elizabeth Fuemmeler and Michelle Petrak on the publication! 🎉
