Dual eye tracking for assessment of team cognition

Current assessment tools for teamwork are based on subjective assessment forms in general, objectively assess teamwork is a challenging task in the operating room. Laparoscopic surgery is a type of surgery that requires the surgeon and assistant to work cohesively, since the surgeon’s view is provided by the assistant consistently maneuvering the camera. We used eye tracker to track both the surgeon and assistant’s eye gaze in a simulated laparoscopic environment. We are interested in testing dual eye tracking technology’s feasibility to measure team cognition and apply dual eye tracking to surgical team training in laparoscopic surgery. Cross recurrence analysis will be used to analyze gaze synchronization. The outcome of this research is to validate whether dual eye tracking is a valid way to measure team synchronization.
