Our eyes are never still. Even when we attempt to fix our gaze, small ocular motions — generally undetectable to the naked eye — shift our eye position. These eye motions include microsaccades, drift ...

The new Microsaccade camera relies on rotating prisms to recreate the movement of the human eye. Image: Shutterstock. Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed a new camera that works ...

Rapid, unconscious eye movements explain a famous optical illusion in which a still image appears to move. When the eye movements, called microsaccades, were suppressed, test subjects reported that ...

For more than 40 years, a scientific controversy has raged over whether microsaccades, rapid eye movements that occur when a person's gaze is fixated, are responsible for visibility. Research ...

Fixational eye movements are tiny movements of the eye—so small we humans aren't even aware of them. Yet they play a large role in our ability to see letters, numbers, and objects at a distance. In a ...

Minuscule involuntary eye movements, known as microsaccades, can occur even while one is carefully staring at a fixed point in space. When paying attention to something in the peripheral vision ...

New research shows that while microsaccades seem to boost or diminish the strength of the brain signals underlying attention, eye movements are not drivers of those brain signals. Minuscule ...
