User ID: 76580820 Australia 08/31/2018 04:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Another thread made me read more about saccadic masking. Quoting: Dr. Moran Every time you move your eyes (and they are moving all the time), your brain switches off the processing of retinal images. When the movement stops, the processing starts again. During that time you're effectively blind. It's called saccadic masking. If this didn't happen, you'd see blurred images every time your eyes move. Our field of vision seems to be continuous due to a phenomenom known as transsaccadic memory. The brain takes in the image obtained just before the saccadic mask sets in, and the image it gets when the mask is lifted. It then integrates these two images to fill in the gap. Ever watched a bird walk ? |

(OP) User ID: 76539860 Finland 08/31/2018 04:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What's even more interesting is that your eyes never really stop moving. It means that a non-negligible fraction of what we perceive as reality is, in fact, made up (i.e. interpolated) by the brain.

If you're watching and waiting for something to happen, focusing on a spot (in the infinity) and just being aware gives you a better reaction time than actively looking for things to happen.

This is your brain "back filling" the visual input. Your brain assembles a believable image based on what it thinks it should looked like with one you're actually looking at. Like OP said, there's a non-negligable amount of visual stimuli that's made up by the brain. UrTard Dume |
