The research question

Can your visual inspectors reliably detect the defects and anomalies their job depends on?

Operator Visual Performance is dedicated to workers whose core function is visual inspection. It objectively maps how the inspector searches, covers critical checkpoints, detects anomalies and where inconsistent scanning, distraction or hesitation can contribute to missed defects.

ParticipantsVisual inspectors, quality-control technicians, maintenance inspectors, visual NDT personnel and other specialists whose job depends on reliable visual defect detection.
Minimum sampleN = 1
DurationDepends on the object, process and real inspection procedure.

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Define the real inspection target, defect classes, critical checkpoints and expected procedure.

02

Instrument the inspector with Eye Tracking Glasses during the real inspection task.

03

Record the complete scan pattern, visual coverage, critical-checkpoint behavior and defect-detection timing.

04

Quantify correct detections, missed defects, false positives, ignored areas, distraction / hesitation events and consistency across inspections.

05

Translate the inspection strategy into assessment, recertification, procedure, checklist, visual-condition and training decisions.

Industry references / comparable applications

Who has used comparable research approaches?

Publicly documented examples from companies and institutions worldwide. These organizations are not presented as Neuro Garage clients, and the examples do not imply they purchased this exact Neuro Garage protocol.

Scientific configuration

The method follows the question

Technology is selected because it is scientifically appropriate for the research objective, not because a device must be used. Santiago configures the study scope, stimuli, participant flow and measurement path before execution.
