Abstract
Neural disorders refer to any condition affecting the nervous system and that
influence how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Traditional
neural diagnoses rely on cumbersome, time-consuming, or subjective methods,
such as clinical interviews, behavioural observations, or medical imaging. Eye
tracking is an attractive alternative because analysing eye movements, such as
fixations and saccades, can provide more objective insights into brain function
and cognitive processing by capturing non-verbal and unconscious responses.
Despite its potential, existing gaze-based studies presented seemingly
contradictory findings. They are dispersed across diverse fields, requiring
further research to standardise protocols and expand their application,
particularly as a preliminary indicator of neural processes for differential
diagnosis. Therefore, this paper outlines the main agreed-upon findings and
provides a systematisation of knowledge and key guidelines towards advancing
gaze-based neural preliminary diagnosis.
