Biomedical Engineering Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Assistive Cursor Dwell Selection

This Biomedical Engineering final year project investigates reducing accidental selections in a non-clinical cursor interface through a non-clinical engineering study using synthetic, licensed de-identified or explicitly approved teaching evidence.

Why choose this project topic?

The project gives reducing accidental selections in a non-clinical cursor interface a bounded engineering scope with observable errors and clear comparison criteria. Measuring selection errors, task time and cancellation success allows a student to discuss design quality and uncertainty while keeping conclusions separate from untested clinical claims.

How do the selected non-clinical engineering methods affect selection errors, task time and cancellation success when reducing accidental selections in a non-clinical cursor interface?

Agree a synthetic or appropriately licensed dataset, inert teaching phantom or approved non-clinical task, then narrow the evaluation for reducing accidental selections in a non-clinical cursor interface.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the non-clinical task, evidence permissions and assumptions for reducing accidental selections in a non-clinical cursor interface.
  2. 02Prototype dwell thresholds, replay synthetic pointer traces and optionally conduct approved usability tasks with no diagnostic claims.
  3. 03Compare selection errors, task time and cancellation success and document uncertainty and limits on interpretation.

A suggested research approach

Prototype dwell thresholds, replay synthetic pointer traces and optionally conduct approved usability tasks with no diagnostic claims. Confirm data licences and any ethics requirements before collection or participant tasks. Use no patient-connected prototype, record the reference conditions and compare selection errors, task time and cancellation success transparently, including errors and cases where the method should abstain.

What you will need

  • Synthetic pointer traces
  • Interface prototype
  • Consent materials

Keep your project scope clear

The study does not establish clinical suitability or replace an individual accessibility assessment.
