Tracking the eye movement of preschoolers for as little as one minute could help with the early detection of autism spectrum disorder, according to Australian research. The study tracked the eye movements of children both with and without autism while watching side-by-side images of geometric patterns and children performing yoga exercises. The researchers were able to predict an autism diagnosis with an accuracy of 94.59%. The researchers say, from a clinical perspective, their findings suggest that eye-tracking technology could be used as a biomarker of the presence of autism and symptom severity in preschool children.
