EnMed students present eye-tracking research at medical conference
Histology, the study of the microscopic structure of biological tissues, is often a difficult subject for medical students because of its visual nature. This challenge led EnMed associate professor, Dr. Ian Murray, to study the use of eye-tracking as an aid for the class. More than 10 EnMed students also participated in the pilot study […]
