Saccadic adaptation is a fundamental process by which the oculomotor system recalibrates the rapid, ballistic movements of the eyes to ensure accurate fixation on targets. This adaptive capability is ...

It has sometimes been assumed that we experience brief periods without vision every time we shift our focus from one point to another – but it turns out this is wrong. Several times each second, we ...

Researchers have discovered a previously undescribed population of neurons called saccade-vergence burst neurons that help control our eyes as they view in three-dimensional space. Models had ...

Cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") in red. Source: Wikimedia/Life Sciences Database Neuroscientists at the University of Rochester have masterminded a rapid eye movement test that can detect ...

A 15-minute aerobic session does not enhance saccade or smooth pursuit performance in patients with schizophrenia spectrum ...

Most people easily learn to recognize new faces and places, and with more extensive practice they can become experts at visual tasks as complex as radiological diagnosis and action video games. Such ...

We move our eyes several times per second. These fast eye movements, called saccades, create large image shifts on the retina - making our visual system work hard to maintain a stable perceptual world ...

Rapid side-to-side eye movements can help stabilize posture, avoid falls and maintain balance for people with Parkinson’s disease, just as they can for healthy people. This seemingly counterintuitive ...
