"Is my judgment correct?" The moment a human doubts that, tiny fireworks go off in their brain. This is not a metaphor. The ...

Finely tuned eye movements are instrumental in enhancing visual acuity, according to findings of a study published in Nature Communications. Finely tuned eye movements are instrumental in enhancing ...

A longstanding debate in consciousness research concerns whether subjective perceptual experiences arise primarily from activity in sensory cortices or rely critically on inferences made in ...

Patients with Parkinson disease exhibit ocular abnormalities that correlate with greater motor symptom severity and disease stage, potentially providing a noninvasive marker of motor status. Patients ...

The new Microsaccade camera relies on rotating prisms to recreate the movement of the human eye. Image: Shutterstock. Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed a new camera that works ...

Scientists from the University of Maryland have developed a new camera system that replicates the minuscule movements of the human eye. Before diving into the novel research, a bit of groundwork is ...

The following is a summary of “Microsaccades and temporal attention at different locations of the visual field,” published in the May 2023 issue of Ophthalmology by Palmieri, et al. For a study, ...

Fruit flies have evolved a different strategy to adjust their vision without moving their heads—they move the retinas inside of their eyes, researchers report. Pick an object in front of you—a teacup, ...

"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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
