Method for assessing visual saliency in children with cerebral/cortical visual impairment using generative artificial intelligence.

ABSTRACT: Cerebral/cortical visual impairment (CVI) is a leading cause of pediatric visual impairment in the United States and other developed countries, and is increasingly diagnosed in developing nations due to improved care and survival of children who are born premature or have other risk factors for CVI. Despite this, there is currently no objective, standardized method to quantify the diverse visual impairments seen in children with CVI who are young and developmentally delayed. We propose a method that combines eye tracking and an image-based generative artificial intelligence (AI) model (SegCLIP) to assess higher- and lower-level visual characteristics in children with CVI. We will recruit 40 CVI participants (aged 12 months to 12 years) and 40 age-matched controls, who will watch a series o
