Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mental health assessment technology, and in particular to a mental health assessment method and system based on eye movement characteristics. Background Technology

[0002] The core purpose of conducting a mental health assessment for childhood trauma is to understand how a person's current emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns are deeply influenced by past traumatic experiences, thereby providing a key pathway to healing. This assessment scientifically identifies repressed or forgotten early traumas, connecting many seemingly inexplicable psychological distresses to their roots, and helping individuals break the vicious cycle of trauma.

[0003] The following problems often exist in existing mental health assessments: (1) Most of them focus on mechanical questioning and often neglect the collection of eye movement features. If the subjects are unwilling to answer mechanical questions, it will lead to incorrect diagnosis. As a subconscious eye movement, eye movement features generally cannot be forcibly changed. (2) Although there are corresponding methods for collecting and analyzing eye movement features in existing technologies, most of them are limited to a single eye movement feature and cannot comprehensively score multiple eye movement features, thereby reducing the randomness of a single eye movement feature. (3) When comprehensively scoring eye movement features, it is very likely that the subjects will be in a state of mental fatigue. However, existing analysis methods often only focus on the value of a single eye movement feature, and cannot quickly and effectively detect the mental fatigue of the subjects, which may cause the final score to deviate. Summary of the Invention

Subsequently, the eye-tracking sampler in the data collection module collected baseline eye-tracking data from the participants when they were reading the natural language passages that did not contain triggers for childhood trauma. ; Step S4: Subsequently, the calculation module will receive all eye-tracking data from the data collection module, and will also use a standardized formula to process eye-tracking data from individual interest areas. Standardization is performed to obtain eye-tracking data for a single area of ​​interest. The corresponding standard score ; Step S5: The calculation module then calculates the standard score. Substituting these values ​​into the emotional arousal formula, emotional change formula, emotional matching formula, and cognitive load formula, respectively, the emotional arousal index of the subjects in a single area of ​​interest was calculated. Emotional change gradient Emotional Matching Score and cognitive load index ; Step S6: The module then calculates the average emotional impact index of the participants.

The mental health assessment method based on eye movement features as described in claim 6, characterized in that: The threshold module (3) sets a separate eye-tracking data set for interest areas based on previous training data and data recommended by psychological experts. The corresponding eye movement data threshold The calculation module (2) then calculates the average fixation time. Corresponding standard score and the corresponding threshold Average number of fixations Corresponding standard score and the corresponding threshold Average number of revisits Corresponding standard score and the corresponding threshold Average number of eye twitches Corresponding standard score and the corresponding threshold Average saccade amplitude Corresponding standard score and the corresponding threshold Substitute these values ​​into the emotion matching formula to obtain the emotion matching score. The emotion matching formula is as follows: ; In the formula: This represents the eye movement feature vector of the subject. Represents the threshold expectation vector, This indicates finding the norm of a vector.

8. A mental health assessment method based on eye movement features as described in claim 7, characterized in that: The calculation module (2) will calculate the average fixation time. Corresponding standard score Average number of fixations Corresponding standard score Average number of revisits Corresponding standard score Average number of eye twitches Corresponding standard score Average saccade amplitude Corresponding standard score Average blink rate Corresponding standard score and average blink time Corresponding standard score Substituting these values ​​into the cognitive load formula, we can obtain the cognitive load index. The formula for cognitive load is as follows: ; In the formula: This indicates the blink adjustment coefficient. The value range is between 0.05 and 0.5; when the cognitive load formula... When the term is less than or equal to 0, it indicates that the subject experiences relatively little psychological change within that area of ​​interest. In this case, if the cognitive load formula... A larger value indicates that the subject is in a state of fatigue; Therefore, when the cognitive load index If the value is less than or equal to -5, the subject needs to adjust their state and the test needs to be repeated.

9. A mental health assessment method based on eye movement features as described in claim 8, characterized in that: The calculation module (2) calculates the emotional arousal index corresponding to the five interest areas. Emotional change gradient Emotional Matching Score Cognitive Load Index To obtain the average emotional impact index of the subjects. Average mood change gradient Average sentiment matching score and average cognitive load index Then, the average emotional impact index was calculated. Average mood change gradient Average sentiment matching score and average cognitive load index Substituting these values ​​into the trauma risk formula, the trauma risk index is calculated. The trauma risk formula is as follows: ; In the formula: This indicates the weight of emotional triggers. The value ranges from 0.5 to 1.

5. Indicates the weight of emotional changes. The value ranges from 0.5 to 1.
