At the start of the study, we asked participants to take a visual sensitivity test. For the test, they had to press a button as soon as they saw a triangle forming in a field of moving dots. People who would develop dementia were much slower to see this triangle on the screen than people who would remain without dementia

Oh no! Slow or no clicking is a sign of dementia. I'm so sorry for your situation.

Lazy OP just copy pasting the title, eh. Or is the article title automatically copied?

Until cheaper and easy-to-use eye trackers are available

Wut? We have been developing that for years. I just did a quick search for code and found this: https://github.com/IvanHalen86/Webcam_EyeTracker_Matlab_Arduino

I almost want update that code for an ESP32 and a couple of cheap cameras I have for them.

My PSVR2 has one. Now I just need the app to go with it.

Tldr: It's quicktime events.

Keep up on your Bayonetta, everyone!

As far as I know, the OP actually writes out the title. Why does this one suck so much? Bot?
