Our eyes are never still. Even when we attempt to fix our gaze, small ocular motions — generally undetectable to the naked eye — shift our eye position. These eye motions include microsaccades, drift ...

(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 ...

New research shows that while microsaccades seem to boost or diminish the strength of the brain signals underlying attention, eye movements are not drivers of those brain signals. Minuscule ...

Rapid, unconscious eye movements explain a famous optical illusion in which a still image appears to move. When the eye movements, called microsaccades, were suppressed, test subjects reported that ...

Our eyes are in constant motion. Even when we attempt to stare straight at a stationary target, our eyes jump and jiggle imperceptibly. Although these unconscious flicks, also known as microsaccades, ...

Minuscule involuntary eye movements, known as microsaccades, can occur even while one is carefully staring at a fixed point in space. When paying attention to something in the peripheral vision ...

"Perhaps retinal microsaccades that shift the fly's world by a tenth or a fifth of a pixel help them distinguish if the dark speck in front of them is another fly or just schmutz," Maimon says—a ...

For more than 40 years, a scientific controversy has raged over whether microsaccades, rapid eye movements that occur when a person's gaze is fixated, are responsible for visibility. Research ...
