How do predators use their vision to both navigate through the terrain while tracking prey running for its life? Pursuing prey through a complex environment is a major challenge for the visual system, ...

Saccades are often viewed as obstacles to perceptual continuity. They lead to suppression of the magnocellular visual pathway 1, and during a saccade, the perceived position of objects in visual space ...

If you quickly move a camera from object to object, the abrupt shift between the two points causes a motion smear that might give you nausea. Our eyes, however, do movements like these two or three ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- To recognize faces in a crowd, the brain employs tiny eye movements called saccades and microsaccades to help us search for objects of interest. While researchers know that these ...

Our eyes are constantly moving, even if we're not aware of it. These rapid movements, called saccades, are essential for our vision. A recent study reveals how these saccades influence what we see—or ...

All vision, including reading this sentence, depends on a constant series of infinitesimal jumps by the eyeball that centers the retina on target objects--words or phrases in the case of reading. Such ...

Cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") in red. Source: Wikimedia/Life Sciences Database Neuroscientists at the University of Rochester have masterminded a rapid eye movement test that can detect ...

Researchers reconstructed what predatory mammals see during pursuit and found that saccades align the retina to world motion and not the actual prey.These eye movements enable the world to remain ...

When sitting still, eye saccades are used to track targets of interest but how are saccades used when pursuing prey while simultaneously navigating through complex environments? To solve this question ...
