@everyone New Research Digest 📰

What does the expert eye see during ultrasound-guided embryo transfer?

Researchers of the Laboratoire Traitement du Signal et de l'Image (LTSI) at the University of Rennes (France) combined Neon eye tracking glasses with a high-fidelity simulator to capture how specialists visually navigate this delicate procedure.

Their findings reveal distinct gaze patterns and cognitive strategies that differentiate experts from novices — a breakthrough that could transform medical training and improve IVF success rates.

@everyone New Alpha Lab

What if you could automatically track gaze on any moving object?

Our new Alpha Lab tutorial makes it possible, introducing a powerful workflow that combines our Neon eye tracker with the Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2).

The process is simple: Click. Segment. Track.

Define a dynamic Area of Interest with a single click, and the tool automatically follows it throughout your recording, mapping your gaze to the moving object. No more tedious manual coding or being limited by predefined categories.

It’s a faster, more flexible way to study gaze in sports, classrooms, or any dynamic, real-world environment.

All powered by a user-friendly Gradio app in Google Colab. No coding required!
