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 ...

Scientists find vision slightly lags behind eye movement, revealing how the brain predicts motion to keep the world stable.

Researchers from Aarhus University have discovered the function of a special group of nerve cells which are found in the eye and which sense visual movement. The findings give us a completely new ...

When novel movements are learned -- for example, in sports -- visual and motor learning take place simultaneously. In findings reported this week, researchers present an experiment that separates the ...

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 ...

Trying to finish your homework while the big game is on TV? "Visual-movement" neurons in the front of your brain can help you stay focused, according to a new study from neuroscientists in the ...

Learn what afterimages can teach us about how our brains predict our visual movements.

Our eyes alone do not provide us with a continuous and stable view of the world. They jump several times each second in rapid ...

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a ...

Eye movement reaction time, speed and accuracy are impaired when a middle-aged person or older adult drinks, even if that person drinks excessively and has a “tolerance” to drinking alcohol, a new ...
