Visual Attention in Neurodivergent People

Earlier this year we shared Dr. Teresa Del Bianco’s study on making eye tracking studies more inclusive. Now, a team of three MSc Students here at Queen Mary University of London are looking at how eye tracking can reveal more about visual attention in neurodivergent people.

Yasmin Ahmed, Yursa Sheekh, and Roda Fuad Mohammed are looking at how visual attention might differ in neurodivergent populations, using an eye tracker to record gaze patterns.

Each young researcher is focusing on a different neurodivergent condition, and they will make the single in-person session as comfortable as possible for participants.

Yasmin, who’s focusing on dyslexic adults, said about her aims: “By gathering insights directly from participants, I hope to identify common patterns, unmet needs, and potential areas for support that could help inform more inclusive approaches in the future.”

If you are, or someone you know is, autistic, dyslexic, or has ADHD, please do get in touch with the researchers:
