People make saccades—rapid eye movements to a new fixation—approximately three times per second. This would seemingly disrupt perceptual continuity, yet our brains construct a coherent, stable ...

Eye saccades in mammals align the motion of the environment, rather than the target, to the retina, optimizing high-acuity vision during pursuit.

Saccades achieve this by countering head rotations to align the area of the sharpest vision with the direction of intended travel and the area of the least motion-induced blur.

Saccades are very fast movements of the eyes. Their exact speed depends on the size of the movement, but large saccades can move the eyes at the same rate as a high-speed train.

As detailed in a study published May 8 in Nature Communications, researchers have revealed that the speed of an individual’s saccades corresponds to the limit at which a moving object becomes ...

The mystery of visual stability Date: June 11, 2020 Source: Tohoku University Summary: We move our eyes several times per second. These fast eye movements, called saccades, create large image ...

A new method for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease could involve listening to the patient's eyes via microphones in ...

As with saccades, microsaccades may also be involved in searching for something in a scene. Along with our colleagues at the Barrow Neurological Institute, ...

Ehrlichman is referring to saccades, rapid eye movements that disengage the focus of one’s vision, often moving down and away from, say, the eyes of a person to whom you are talking. Or a TV camera.
