When you go for a walk, how does your brain know the difference between a parked car and a moving car? This seemingly simple ...

University of Rochester researchers discover that contrary to long-standing beliefs, motion from eye movements helps the ...

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 ...

Every time we look at an object or a picture, our eyes make tiny jumps called saccades, followed by brief pauses known as fixations. These rapid movements are guided by the brain, helping us process ...

When a camera whips around from one point to another, most people expect the fast movement to result in a blurry smear. What they don’t realize, however, is that our own eyes engage in a similar kind ...
