Disgust is a major barrier to accepting insect-based foods, yet its effect on visual attention remains poorly understood. Using Pupil Invisible eye tracking glasses together with Marker Mapper in Pupil Cloud, researchers measured how people visually explored a realistic buffet containing insect-based and familiar foods. Read the digest to discover why attention does not always follow preference, and what this reveals about curiosity, disgust, and food choice.

Coaches can train technique and fitness, but the visual strategies behind expert performance often remain invisible and hard to measure. With Neon wearable eye tracking, researchers captured how table tennis players allocate attention during real rallies, revealing clear differences in gaze control and predictive looking. Read the full digest to learn which visual behaviors separate experts from novices, and why they might be more trainable than expected.

It turns out that safe navigation isn’t just about instruments or automation. It’s about situational awareness. In our latest Research Digest, we showcase a study comparing expert navigators against trainies using Neon wearable eye tracking system by researchers from Novia University of Applied Sciences and the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute.

Urban planners have long relied on crash statistics to assess safety, but these reactive measures fail to capture the moment-to-moment stress that deters cyclists long before an accident occurs. By combining physiological sensors with Neon eye tracking, researchers have developed a novel framework that correlates gaze behavior, such as blink rate spikes, with environmental triggers to create dynamic "stress maps" of the city. Read the full digest to see how this multimodal approach is transforming real-world biometric data into safer, simulation-based infrastructure design.

Pupil Labs, a global leader in wearable eye tracking technology, today announced a partnership with NIL Technology (NILT) to integrate NILT’s ultra-compact metaEye™ technology into Pupil Labs’ forthcoming eye tracking product.

Flying an aircraft safely requires attention, skill, and split-second decisions. However, measuring these variables in simulators provides limited insights because they cannot fully replicate the realities of real-world flight. Read about how researchers from the University of Waterloo addressed this by moving from the lab into a real cockpit.
