Event Information

Presented by Dr. Thomas Wilcockson via Teams, Senior Lecturer of Psychology, Loughborough University

Thom's research focuses on utilising eye movement patterns as diagnostic markers for various neurological conditions. His work is particularly focused on distinguishing between conditions like Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, and head trauma, which can present with cognitive decline. Thom will highlight how specific eye movement patterns can serve as sensitive biomarkers, potentially predicting cognitive decline years in advance and offering high specificity for differentiating underlying pathologies. He will also discuss the development of smartphone-based portable eye-tracking technologies, which aim to translate laboratory findings into accessible, real-world clinical applications. This approach promises to move beyond traditional assessments, enabling earlier and more precise diagnoses to facilitate timely interventions and improve patient outcomes.
