Because the electrodes are made of fabric, the mask is also washable and reusable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could make it useful for health monitoring, particularly of sleep. Eye movement changes are important indicators of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/article\/2222016-a-type-of-brainwave-may-help-clean-your-brain-while-you-sleep\/\">sleep phase<\/a>, such as rapid eye movement (REM) and non REM sleep, says Andrew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrew and her colleagues tested their mask \u2013 which they have named Chesma \u2013 on three volunteers in an initial study and are now using it for overnight sleep studies, where it is being tested in slightly larger groups of people alongside other sleep monitoring garments that the researchers are developing, including smart pyjamas that can monitor sleep posture and breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile wrist-based fitness trackers record heart rates, this has the potential to combine measuring heart rates and eye activity in a single wearable device, which can give novel insights into medical conditions that may appear only intermittently in a person,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianholz.net\">Christian Holz<\/a> at ETH Z\u00fcrich in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mask could also be useful for human-computer interactions. \u201cIf you are staring at a screen while wearing the mask, [it] can tell which quadrant of the screen your eyes are drawn to or are focusing on,\u201d says Andrew. \u201cCoupled with pulse, that provides insight into awareness and emotional state. This can be useful for e-advertisers,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In future, this could be extended to allow the wearer to communicate with a computer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/article\/mg22329874-600-gaze-tracker-lets-you-connect-to-devices-with-a-glance\/\">using their gaze<\/a> alone, says John Paulin Hansen at the Technical University of Denmark. \u201cSwiping with gaze may open a door without touching it, or change the music track you are listening to,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis mask would [also] be particularly well-suited for surgeons in need of an extra hand to control instruments,\u201d says Hansen. But it will be important to test the mask on a larger group of people to account for variation among potential users, he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/letket.com\">website<\/a> for more tech articles. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An eye-tracking mask that also measures the wearer\u2019s pulse could be used to study people\u2019s reactions to things they are viewing.
