Title: Victor Pankratius and EEG-Based Eye Tracking

Introduction

Victor Pankratius is an inventor associated with Reutlingen, Germany, and Robert Bosch. His patent work includes a method for estimating eye position or gestures from EEG signals, with potential applications in controlling wearable devices.

Latest Patents

Pankratius is associated with 1 patent: “Method and Device for Carrying Out Eye Tracking.” The invention records EEG signals over time using a contact electrode and processes signal data from successive time windows. A data-based eye-movement model then estimates eye position or gestures. The model uses a neural network that may include recurrent layers, such as LSTM or GRU layers, or a transformer layer, alongside one or more neuron layers.

Career Highlights

The available information identifies Pankratius as working with Robert Bosch and documents his contribution to an invention combining EEG sensing and neural-network processing for eye tracking. The disclosed approach is intended, in particular, to support control of functions in an application system such as a wearable.
