Eye sensing -based AD monitoring for everyday life

Project description
BREYENGRAPH will create the foundations for revolutionising neurodegenerative disease early detection and screening in everyday life with smart eyewear.
The human brain collects data on the visual environment through the eyes. Visual perception is a complex cognitive process influenced by a range of internal and external factors including motivation, possible neurological dysfunction, and visual stimuli to name a few.
Eyes can provide valuable information about diverse underlying changes in the brain. This information can be utilised, for example, in the early diagnosis neurological diseases. Because visual perception is at the same time tightly linked to the world around us, detection of the internal factors in everyday scenarios proves to be a challenging task.
In this project we aim to tackle the challenge: the project explores and evolves artificial intelligence (AI) methods to enable eye -sensing based Alzheimer’s disease (AD) monitoring in everyday life from a freely moving person.
