Probabilistic neural network applied to eye tracking control to alter the direction of an endoscopic manipulator

In this study, we propose a novel endoscopic manipulation system that is controlled by a surgeon's eye movements. The optical axis direction of the endoscopic manipulator is altered intuitively based on the surgeon's pupil movements. A graphical user interface was developed by divi...
