The mouse is necessary to zoom in on the images, but this can be tiring and distracting when many images are read in a single day. Therefore, an image magnification system combining an eyedetector and a simple electroencephalograph (EEG) scanner was devised, and its operability was evaluated. Two experiments were conducted in this study the measurement of eyedetection error using an eyedetector and the measurement of the time required for image magnification using a simple EEG scanner. Eyedetector validation showed that the mean distance of eyedetection error ranged from 0.64 cm to 2.17 cm, with an overall mean of 1.24 &amp;plusmn; 0.81 cm for the observers. The results showed that the eye detection error was small enough for the magnified area of the mammographic image. The average time required for point magnification in the verification of the simple EEG scanner ranged from 5.85 to 16.73 seconds, and individual differences were observed. The reason for this may be that the size of the simple EEG scanner used was not adjustable, so it did not fit well for some subjects. The use of a simple EEG scanner with size adjustment would solve this problem. Therefore, the image magnification system using the eyedetector and the simple EEG scanner is useful.</abstract> <index>Open Science Index 197, 2023</index> </article>
