MRI images of eye movements during blinking: The eye is pulled back into the eye socket. The left image shows only the dynamic MRI data, the right image additionally shows the segmentation of the eye by the MREyeTrack. The photo corner consisting of six images shows the eye movement. WWU - Johannes Kirchner Scientists from Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität (WWU) Münster have developed a method to measure the full extent of eye movements during blinks for the first time. The new method uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), to take many fast measurements of an entire cross-section of the eye, unlike most common eye tracking that measures only the front of the eyeball. This allows measurements even when the eye is closed, additional assessment of the ocular muscles and visualises displacements and deformations of the whole eyeball. The study describing the new method has been published in the scientific journal "eNeuro".
