Eye–tracking tasks engage both smooth pursuit and saccadic gaze movements. Performance of these different types of gaze movement during simple visual tasks, can indicate deficits in memory and executive functions. Similarly, changes in pupillary reflexes have been shown to reflect mental effort and cognitive processes. We hypothesised these non-invasive eye-tracking signals will predict verbal memory performance in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.Twenty-nine patients completed simple eye-tracking tasks, probing Smooth Pursuit (SP) and Anti-Pro-Saccade (AP) gaze movements, and were groupe
