Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Introduction: The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is widely used as a screening test for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, the MoCA takes approximately 15 min to administer and evaluate by skilled examiners, such as medical professionals. This study assessed whether an eye tracking-based cognitive scale using virtual reality (VR) was accurate and efficient to screen for MCI. Methods: This study included 143 patients. The Virtual Reality-Based Cognitive Function Examination (VR-E) was used with all participants to evaluate their memory, judgment, spatial cognition, calculation, and language function. Results: Significant differences were observed in all cognitive domains of memory, judgment, spatial cognition, calculation, and language function between the Alzheimer's disease (AD), MCI, and older healthy control (HC) groups. The area under the curve value of the VR-E score for the HC and MCI groups was 0.857, and that for the AD and MCI groups was 0.870. The correlation coefficient between the MMSE and VR-E scores was 0.566 (p < 0.001), and that between the Japanese version of the MoCA (MoCA-J) and VR-E scores was 0.648 (p < 0.001), which indicated a moderate correlation in both comparisons. Conclusion: The VR-E had the same diagnostic performance results as the MoCA-J, thus the VR-E has potential for use in screening patients for MCI.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
