Researchers use afterimages to prove the brain predicts eye movements with 94% accuracy, revealing the internal "efference copy" mechanism that keeps our vision stable.

All animals, large or small, have to move at an incredible precision to interact with the world. Understanding how the brain controls movement is a fundamental question in neuroscience. For larger ...

Computer engineers have developed virtual eyes that simulate how humans look at the world accurately enough for companies to train virtual reality and augmented reality programs. Called EyeSyn for ...

When you go for a walk, how does your brain know the difference between a parked car and a moving car? This seemingly simple distinction is challenging because eye movements, such as the ones we make ...

Our ability to see starts with the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells in our eyes. A specific region of the retina, termed fovea, is responsible for sharp vision. Here, the color-sensitive cone ...

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 ...

Drug development for neurodegenerative diseases is struggling with one of its most intractable barriers: the slow, variable, and subjective nature of clinical endpoints Traditional assessment scales, ...

Your eyes might be giving away secrets about your brain’s future that you don’t even know yet. Researchers have discovered that specific eye movement patterns can predict Alzheimer’s disease ...

The eyes may reveal how experiences are recalled, according to new Baycrest research that suggests that shifts in eye movements play a critical role in memory retrieval. The findings offer new insight ...
