Publication Open Access Fisiopatología y técnicas de registro de los movimientos oculares(Gobierno de Navarra, 2009) Gila Useros, Luis; Villanueva Larre, Arantxa; Cabeza Laguna, Rafael; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaEn el control de la motilidad ocular intervienen varios sistemas funcionales. Los reflejos vestíbulo-oculares y optocinéticos son respuestas automáticas para compensar los movimientos de la cabeza y del entorno visual y poder estabilizar la imagen retiniana sobre un determinado punto de fijación. Los movimientos sacádicos son rápidos desplazamientos de la fijación de un punto a otro del campo visual. Los movimientos de persecución lenta consisten en el seguimiento de estímulos móviles con la mirada. Finalmente, existen movimientos involuntarios de muy escasa amplitud que se producen durante el mantenimiento de la fijación. Cada modalidad funcional de movimiento depende de circuitos neuronales específicos que trabajan coordinadamente para codificar la contracción de los músculos oculomotores correspondiente a la posición adecuada en cada momento. Estos sistemas neuronales pueden verse alterados por múltiples procesos neurológicos de diferente naturaleza y localización dando lugar a una variada gama de trastornos oculomotores. Se revisan los aspectos más destacados de la fisiopatología y de los sistemas de registro de los movimientos oculares.Publication Open Access Low cost gaze estimation: knowledge-based solutions(IEEE, 2020) Martinikorena Aranburu, Ion; Larumbe Bergera, Andoni; Ariz Galilea, Mikel; Porta Cuéllar, Sonia; Cabeza Laguna, Rafael; Villanueva Larre, Arantxa; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenEye tracking technology in low resolution scenarios is not a completely solved issue to date. The possibility of using eye tracking in a mobile gadget is a challenging objective that would permit to spread this technology to non-explored fields. In this paper, a knowledge based approach is presented to solve gaze estimation in low resolution settings. The understanding of the high resolution paradigm permits to propose alternative models to solve gaze estimation. In this manner, three models are presented: a geometrical model, an interpolation model and a compound model, as solutions for gaze estimation for remote low resolution systems. Since this work considers head position essential to improve gaze accuracy, a method for head pose estimation is also proposed. The methods are validated in an optimal framework, I2Head database, which combines head and gaze data. The experimental validation of the models demonstrates their sensitivity to image processing inaccuracies, critical in the case of the geometrical model. Static and extreme movement scenarios are analyzed showing the higher robustness of compound and geometrical models in the presence of user’s displacement. Accuracy values of about 3◦ have been obtained, increasing to values close to 5◦ in extreme displacement settings, results fully comparable with the state-of-the-art.Publication Open Access Effects of time-restricted eating and resistance training on skeletal muscle tissue quantity, quality and function in postmenopausal women with overweight or obesity: a study protocol(Elsevier, 2024-12-30) Alfaro-Magallanes, Víctor Manuel; Medrano Echeverría, María; Echarte Medina, Jon; Osés Recalde, Maddi; Izquierdo Rodríguez, Claudia; Concepción Álvarez, Mara de la Caridad; Galbete Jiménez, Arkaitz; Idoate, Fernando; Zugasti Murillo, Ana; Petrina Jáuregui, María Estrella; Goñi Gironés, María Elena; Ribelles, María Jesús; Amasene, María; Arenaza Etxeberría, Lide; Tejada Garrido, Clara Isabel; Elejalde, E.; Azcárate Jiménez, Unai Xabier; Ruiz Sarrias, Oskitz; Sayar-Beristain, Onintza; García-Ramos, Amador; Martínez Labari, Cristina; Armendáriz Brugos, Cristina; Villanueva Larre, Arantxa; Ruiz, Jonatan R.; Cabeza Laguna, Rafael; Labayen Goñi, Idoia; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOODBackground & aims: time-restricted eating (TRE) shows promise for weight loss and improving menopauserelated body composition and cardiometabolic health, but its effects on skeletal muscle tissue (SMT) in postmenopausal women are unknown. This study investigates the effects of three weight loss interventions over 12 weeks on SMT quantity, quality, function, and cardiometabolic health in postmenopausal women with overweight/obesity, with effects persistence evaluated at a 12-month follow-up. Methods and results: in this randomized controlled trial, 78 postmenopausal women (50–65 years; BMI 25–40 kg/m2; sedentary lifestyle; eating window ≥12 h/day; no severe metabolic impairments) will be recruited. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups for 12 weeks: TRE, TRE + resistance training, or CR + resistance training. The TRE groups will reduce their eating window to 8 h and receive nutritional advice to adhere to a Mediterranean diet. The CR group will follow a personalized hypocaloric diet (− 500 kcal/day). Resistance training groups will perform supervised resistance training 3 times/week. Primary Outcome: Change in SMT quantity measured by MRI at baseline and after 12 weeks. Secondary Outcomes: intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), strength, power, body weight and composition, and cardiometabolic risk factors. Conclusion: this study will illustrate the effects of TRE and TRE combined with resistance exercise compared with the currently recommended obesity-lifestyle treatment on SMT quantity, quality, function, and cardiometabolic markers. The results will offer insights into dietary strategies to combat obesity and metabolic diseases without increasing sarcopenia risk in postmenopausal women, a sparsely studied and particularly affected population.Publication Open Access SeTA: semiautomatic tool for annotation of eye tracking images(ACM, 2019) Larumbe Bergera, Andoni; Porta Cuéllar, Sonia; Cabeza Laguna, Rafael; Villanueva Larre, Arantxa; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenAvailability of large scale tagged datasets is a must in the field of deep learning applied to the eye tracking challenge. In this paper, the potential of Supervised-Descent-Method (SDM) as a semiautomatic labelling tool for eye tracking images is shown. The objective of the paper is to evidence how the human effort needed for manually labelling large eye tracking datasets can be radically reduced by the use of cascaded regressors. Different applications are provided in the fields of high and low resolution systems. An iris/pupil center labelling is shown as example for low resolution images while a pupil contour points detection is demonstrated in high resolution. In both cases manual annotation requirements are drastically reduced.Publication Open Access Effects of a family-based lifestyle intervention plus supervised exercise training on abdominal fat depots in children with overweight or obesity: a secondary analysis of a nonrandomized clinical trial(American Medical Association, 2022) Cadenas-Sánchez, Cristina; Cabeza Laguna, Rafael; Idoate, Fernando; Osés Recalde, Maddi; Medrano Echeverría, María; Villanueva Larre, Arantxa; Arenaza Etxeberría, Lide; Sanz Muñoz, Aritz; Ortega, Francisco B.; Ruiz, Jonatan R.; Labayen Goñi, Idoia; Ciencias de la Salud; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Osasun Zientziak; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenImportance Excess abdominal fat is a major determinant in the development of insulin resistance and other metabolic disorders. Increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) seems to precede the development of insulin resistance and is therefore a prime target of childhood lifestyle interventions aimed at preventing diabetes. OBJECTIVES To examine the effect of added exercise to a family-based lifestyle intervention program designed to reduce VAT plus subcutaneous (ASAT), intermuscular (IMAAT), and pancreatic (PAT) adipose tissue in children with overweight or obesity and to explore the effect of changes in VAT on insulin resistance. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This 2-group, parallel-design clinical trial was conducted in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. A total of 116 children with overweight or obesity participated and were assigned to a 22-week family-based lifestyle program (control group [n = 57]) or the same program plus an exercise intervention (exercise group [n = 59]). Data were collected between September 1, 2014, and June 30, 2017, and imaging processing for fat depot assessments and data analysis were performed between May 1, 2019, and February 12, 2021. INTERVENTIONS The compared interventions consisted of a family-based lifestyle and psychoeducation program (two 90-minute sessions per month) and the same program plus supervised exercise (three 90-minute sessions per week). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome of this study was the change in VAT between baseline and 22 weeks as estimated by magnetic resonance imaging. The secondary outcomes were changes in ASAT, IMAAT, and PAT. The effect of changes in VAT area on insulin resistance was also recorded. RESULTS The 116 participants included in the analysis (62 girls [53.4%]) had a mean (SD) age of 10.6 (1.1) years, and 67 (57.8%) presented with obesity. Significantly greater reductions were recorded for the exercise group in terms of reduction in VAT (−18.1% vs −8.5% for the control group; P = .004), ASAT (−9.9% vs −3.0%; P = .001), and IMAAT (−6.0% vs −2.6%; P = .02) fat fractions compared with the control group. Changes in VAT explained 87.6% of the improvement seen in insulin resistance (β = −0.102 [95% CI, −0.230 to −0.002]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE These findings suggest that the addition of exercise to a lifestyle intervention program substantially enhanced the positive effects on abdominal fat depots in children with overweight or obesity. In addition, the reduction in VAT seemed to largely mediate the improvement of insulin sensitivity. These results highlight the importance of including exercise as part of lifestyle therapies aimed at treating childhood obesity and preventing the development of type 2 diabetes.Publication Open Access Models for gaze tracking systems(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2007) Villanueva Larre, Arantxa; Cabeza Laguna, Rafael; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaOne of the most confusing aspects that one meets when introducing oneself into gaze tracking technology is the wide variety, in terms of hardware equipment, of available systems that provide solutions to the same matter, that is, determining the point the subject is looking at. The calibration process permits generally adjusting nonintrusive trackers based on quite different hardware and image features to the subject. The negative aspect of this simple procedure is that it permits the system to work properly but at the expense of a lack of control over the intrinsic behavior of the tracker. The objective of the presented article is to overcome this obstacle to explore more deeply the elements of a video-oculographic system, that is, eye, camera, lighting, and so forth, from a purely mathematical and geometrical point of view. The main contribution is to find out the minimum number of hardware elements and image features that are needed to determine the point the subject is looking at. A model has been constructed based on pupil contour and multiple lighting, and successfully tested with real subjects. On the other hand, theoretical aspects of video-oculographic systems have been thoroughly reviewed in order to build a theoretical basis for further studies.Publication Open Access Accurate pupil center detection in off-the-shelf eye tracking systems using convolutional neural networks(MDPI, 2021) Larumbe Bergera, Andoni; Garde Lecumberri, Gonzalo; Porta Cuéllar, Sonia; Cabeza Laguna, Rafael; Villanueva Larre, Arantxa; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaRemote eye tracking technology has suffered an increasing growth in recent years due to its applicability in many research areas. In this paper, a video-oculography method based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for pupil center detection over webcam images is proposed. As the first contribution of this work and in order to train the model, a pupil center manual labeling procedure of a facial landmark dataset has been performed. The model has been tested over both real and synthetic databases and outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving pupil center estimation errors below the size of a constricted pupil in more than 95% of the images, while reducing computing time by a 8 factor. Results show the importance of use high quality training data and well-known architectures to achieve an outstanding performance.Publication Open Access Effects of exercise on bone marrow adipose tissue in children with overweight/obesity: role of liver fat(Oxford University Press, 2024-08-07) Labayen Goñi, Idoia; Cadenas-Sánchez, Cristina; Idoate, Fernando; Gracia-Marco, Luis; Medrano Echeverría, María; Alfaro-Magallanes, Víctor Manuel; Alcántara Alcántara, Juan Manuel; Rodríguez Vigil, Beatriz; Osés Recalde, Maddi; Ortega, Francisco B.; Ruiz, Jonatan R.; Cabeza Laguna, Rafael; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Agronomía, Biotecnología y Alimentación; Agronomia, Bioteknologia eta Elikadura; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako GobernuaContext: Exercise reduces adiposity, but its influence on bone marrow fat fraction (BMFF) is unknown; nor is it known whether a reduction in liver fat content mediates this reduction. Objectives: This work aimed to determine whether incorporating exercise into a lifestyle program reduces the lumbar spine (LS) BMFF and to investigate whether changes in liver fat mediate any such effect.Methods Ancillary analysis of a 2-arm, parallel, nonrandomized clinical trial was conducted at primary care centers in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. A total of 116 children with overweight/obesity were assigned to a 22-week family-based lifestyle program (control group [n = 57]) or the same program plus an exercise intervention (exercise group [n = 59]). The compared interventions consisted of a family-based lifestyle program (two 90-minute sessions/month) and the same program plus supervised exercise (three 90-minute sessions/week). The primary outcome examined was the change in LS-BMFF between baseline and 22 weeks, as estimated by magnetic resonance imaging. The effect of changes in hepatic fat on LS-BMFF were also recorded.Results Mean weight loss difference between groups was 1.4 +/- 0.5 kg in favor of the exercise group. Only the children in the exercise group experienced a reduction in LS-BMFF (effect size [Cohen d] -0.42; CI, -0.86 to -0.01). Importantly, 40.9% of the reductions in LS-BMFF were mediated by changes in percentage hepatic fat (indirect effect: beta=-0.104; 95% CI, -0.213 to -0.019). The effect of changes in hepatic fat on LS-BMFF was independent of weight loss.Conclusion The addition of exercise to a family-based lifestyle program designed to reduce cardiometabolic risk improves bone health by reducing LS-BMFF in children with overweight or obesity. This beneficial effect on bone marrow appears to be mediated by reductions in liver fat.Publication Open Access Supervised descent method (SDM) applied to accurate pupil detection in off-the-shelf eye tracking systems(ACM, 2018) Larumbe Bergera, Andoni; Cabeza Laguna, Rafael; Villanueva Larre, Arantxa; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenThe precise detection of pupil/iris center is key to estimate gaze accurately. This fact becomes specially challenging in low cost frameworks in which the algorithms employed for high performance systems fail. In the last years an outstanding effort has been made in order to apply training-based methods to low resolution images. In this paper, Supervised Descent Method (SDM) is applied to GI4E database. The 2D landmarks employed for training are the corners of the eyes and the pupil centers. In order to validate the algorithm proposed, a cross validation procedure is performed. The strategy employed for the training allows us to affirm that our method can potentially outperform the state of the art algorithms applied to the same dataset in terms of 2D accuracy. The promising results encourage to carry on in the study of training-based methods for eye tracking.Publication Open Access Beyond basic tuning: exploring discrepancies in user and setup calibration for gaze estimation(ACM, 2024-06-04) Garde Lecumberri, Gonzalo; Armendáriz Armenteros, José María; Beruete Cerezo, Rubén; Cabeza Laguna, Rafael; Villanueva Larre, Arantxa; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzaCalibrating gaze estimation models is crucial to maximize the effectiveness of these systems, although its implementation also poses challenges related to usability. Therefore, the simplification of this process is key. In this work, we dissect the impact of calibration due to both the environment and the user in gaze estimation models that employ general-purpose devices. We aim to replicate a workflow close to the final application by starting with pre-trained models and subsequently calibrating them using different strategies, testing under various camera arrangements and user-specific variability. The results indicate differentiation between the impact due to the user and the setup, being the components due to the users a slightly more pronounced impact than those related to the setup, opening the door to understanding calibration as a composite process. In any case, the development of calibration-free remote gaze estimation solutions remains a great challenge, given the crucial role of calibration.
