Article Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using eye tracking data to identify orthopedic trainees' technical proficiency in hip arthroscopic procedures during simulation-based training.
Design: A cross sectional study.
Setting: A simulation-based training session for hip arthroscopy was conducted. Eye tracking devices were used to record participants' eye movements while performing simulated operations. The NASA Task Load Index survey was then used to measure subjective opinions on the perceived workload of the training. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the significance of the eye metrics and survey data.
Participants: A total of 12 arthroscopic trainees, including resident doctors, junior specialist surgeons, and consultant surgeons from the Department of Orthopedics in five hospitals, participated in this study. They were divided into three subgroups based on their prior clinical experience.
Results: Significant differences, including those for dwell time, number of fixations, number of saccades, saccade duration, peak velocity of the saccade, and pupil entropy, were observed among the three subgroups. Additionally, there were clear trends in the perceived workload of the simulation-based training based on feedback from the participants.
Conclusion: Based on this preliminary study, a correlation was identified between the eye tracking metrics and participants' experience levels. Hence, it is feasible to apply eye tracking data as a supplementary objective assessment tool to benchmark the technical proficiency of surgical trainees in hip arthroscopy, and enhance simulation-based training.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the primary view of infant visual attention development focused on a transition across the first postnatal year from being stimulus-driven to goal-driven, reflecting a broader shift from subcortical to cortical control. This perspective was supported by decades of infant looking-time studies. However, our understanding of infant attention has significantly evolved over the past 25 years, shaped by both theoretical advancements and new technological and methodological tools.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) unfolds over the first two years of life through complex interactions among developmental systems. Attention and autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulation represent foundational processes critical for adaptive engagement with the environment. Disruptions in these systems during early infancy may initiate developmental cascades that contribute to core ASD features, including social-communication challenges and restricted and repetitive behaviors, as well as the vast heterogeneity found within ASD.

The neural circuitry engaged in supporting eye movements has been well characterized, but fundamental questions remain about the necessity and sufficiency of the individual hemispheric contributions. To gain a better understanding of the neural correlates of oculomotor control, we measured horizontal smooth pursuit tracking behavior in 14 patients following childhood hemispherectomy. Relative to developmentally typical age-matched controls, patients exhibited a bilateral and asymmetric pursuit deficit with reduced ipsilesional but elevated contralesional eye speeds, and asymmetric accompanying 'catch up' saccades.

Purpose: To determine the proximity between the thinnest corneal point (TCP) and focal corneal weakening in normal, subclinical keratoconus (SKC), and manifest keratoconus (KC) eyes using motion-tracking Brillouin microscopy.
Design: Prospective cross-sectional study.
Participants: Ninety-five eyes from 95 patients were evaluated: 40 from bilaterally normal patients (controls), 40 from patients with SKC, and 15 from patients with manifest KC.
