The ghosts we see: Afterimages provide clues to how our brains perceive a stable environment
Our eyes alone do not provide us with a continuous and stable view of the world. They jump several times each second in rapid movements called saccades. Because the eye projects the world onto the ...
Researchers use afterimages to prove the brain predicts eye movements with 94% accuracy, revealing the internal "efference copy" mechanism that keeps our vision stable.
A very subtle and seemingly random type of eye movement called ocular drift can be influenced by prior knowledge of the expected visual target, suggesting a surprising level of cognitive control over ...
Recent investigations in vision science have revealed that eye movements play an active role beyond the mere stabilization of retinal images. Instead of serving a passive function, subtle ocular ...

Study: The brain predicts images during eye jumps to stabilize vision
Every time the human eye darts from one point to another, the retinal image smears across the visual field. These rapid jumps, called saccades, happen several times per second, yet the world never ...
Recent studies have explored the dynamic interplay between ocular behaviour and the retrieval of visual memories. Notably, eye movements observed during mental imagery often reflect the patterns ...
To recover from abuse or another traumatic experience, some people turn to a therapy called eye-movement desensitisation and reprocessing, or EMDR. But this may present problems if these people pursue ...
Eye-tracking tests can detect brain trauma deficits in patients more than a decade after their last concussion.
