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 ...

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

Our eyes alone do not provide us with a continuous and stable view of the world. They jump several times each second in rapid movements called saccades. Because the eye projects the world onto the ...

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

When compared with fixation, both smooth pursuit (upper left) and saccadic (lower left) eye movements showed similar patterns of brain activation (red) and deactivation (blue). In contrast, a direct ...

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 ...

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 ...
