A very subtle and seemingly random type of eye movement called ocular drift can be influenced by prior knowledge of the expected visual target, suggesting a surprising level of cognitive control over ...

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

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

Ghostly afterimages are the result of our brain stabilizing our vision, according to German researchers who investigated the process.

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 ...

When our eyes move during REM sleep, we’re gazing at things in the dream world our brains have created, according to a new study by researchers at UC San Francisco. The findings shed light not only ...

Does rapid eye movement during sleep reveal where you’re looking at in the scenery of dreams, or are they simply the result of random jerks of our eye muscles? Since the discovery of REM sleep in the ...
