Researchers have developed a new method for automatically screening Parkinson's disease using smooth pursuit eye movements. The study, which involved participants with early Parkinson's disease and healthy controls, analyzed gaze position sequences to identify patterns indicative of the disease. By employing complexity and nonlinear dynamics measures, combined with a support vector machine and a mixture of experts model, the pipeline achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.86 on an external test set. The findings suggest that these measures could serve as candidate markers for Parkinson's disease screening, with further validation needed in larger cohorts. AI
