Attention,
made visible.

Pupil reads the language of your gaze to screen for ADHD. Non-invasive, research-backed, and fast. We turn a short look at a screen into a clear signal, in minutes.

Three steps to clarity

A calm, guided experience that takes under five minutes. No clinic visit, no waiting list.

STEP 01

Record

Follow gentle dots on screen for under a minute while your webcam records your eyes.

STEP 02

Analyze

Our vision pipeline extracts saccades, fixations and pupil dynamics frame by frame, then a transformer reads the temporal signature of attention.

STEP 03

Results

Get an instant, explainable report with biomarkers, confidence, charts and clinical insights to share with a professional.

Run a screening

Record a short clip with your webcam or upload a video. Pupil sends it to the cloud and returns an attention analysis in seconds.

Enable your camera to record a short eye-tracking clip.

Sit about an arm's length away with your face evenly lit.

Why Pupil

Screening technology that makes ADHD detection accessible, fast, and genuinely non-invasive.

Non-invasive screening

No blood tests, no brain scans. Simply watch dots on a screen while we read your eye movements in real time.

Rapid results

Complete a screening in under five minutes. Our AI processes thousands of data points and returns insights immediately.

Works on any camera

No special hardware. Pupil runs on a standard laptop or phone webcam, so you can screen anywhere.

Research-backed detection

Trained on extensive eye-tracking datasets, our model spots the subtle gaze patterns that distinguish ADHD from neurotypical attention.

Real-time visualization

Watch your gaze trace live in the screening lab. See exactly what the AI sees as it analyzes your eye movements.

Privacy-first design

All processing happens locally. Your eye data never leaves your machine.

The technology

State-of-the-art AI architecture powering clinical-grade eye-tracking analysis.

01

Computer vision pipeline

Our camera system captures eye movements at high frequency. Pupil-detection algorithms extract gaze coordinates, pupil dilation and fixation stability in real time.

02

Transformer network

At the heart of Pupil is a Transformer encoder, the architecture behind modern AI breakthroughs. It learns temporal patterns in gaze sequences that traditional methods miss.

03

Two-stage training

We pre-train on large-scale eye-tracking data (GazeBase: 12,000+ recordings) to learn general gaze dynamics, then fine-tune on ADHD-specific data to specialize in attention detection.

04

ADHD-relevant biomarkers

Pupil extracts clinically meaningful features that correlate with attention disorders:

Saccadic velocity & latency
Fixation stability (BCEA)
Microsaccade frequency
Gaze entropy & predictability
Pupil diameter dynamics
Temporal attention patterns
05

Private by design

Every frame is processed locally. Your eye video never leaves your machine, and your results stay yours.

The research

Built on peer-reviewed science and validated against clinical diagnoses.

The science of gaze

Eye movements are controlled by the same neural circuits behind attention and executive function, the core deficits in ADHD.

  • More frequent saccades during attention tasks
  • Reduced fixation stability
  • Altered pupil responses
  • Different temporal gaze patterns

Our approach

Pupil leverages transfer learning from GazeBase, one of the largest eye-tracking repositories, with 322 participants across multiple sessions.

The model learns robust representations of eye-movement dynamics before specializing on ADHD detection.

Validation

Our model is validated against clinical ADHD diagnoses, with ongoing studies to establish sensitivity and specificity benchmarks.

Pupil is designed to complement, not replace, professional clinical evaluation.

About Pupil

Pupil
“The window to attention.”

Pupil is pioneering a new frontier in ADHD detection. It is an accessible, non-invasive screening tool that reads attention through the eyes.

Traditional ADHD diagnosis relies on subjective behavioral assessments and lengthy clinical evaluations. Pupil offers a different approach, using the eyes as a window into cognitive function. By analyzing how people track visual stimuli, our system detects patterns linked to attention disorders in minutes, not months.

Built by researchers passionate about bridging neuroscience and technology, Pupil aims to make early ADHD screening available to schools, clinics, and families worldwide.
