Re: Interesting: your visual cortex gets switched off every time you move your eyes
Check out EMDR


There are studies connected with reducing depression by creating environments (or enjoying complex natural environments-like forests) that cause the eye to constantly move. Something about the movements recalibrate the receptors that create stronger connections and counter-develop the onset of depression.

That is very interesting 5*
You cannot destroy my vision when you see my vision undestroyed because I am just an undestroyer.

Another thread made me read more about saccadic masking.

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.
 Quoting: Dr. Moran

I believe this also relates peripherally to at least two driving [traffic] studies done as well. Great find!!

Interesting indeed, op. When I am drawing and painting from life, I rapidly "flash" my eyes back and forth between the subject and the model to compare my work to the real thing.

It looks like two pages of a flip book and makes it easy to spot discrepancies/errors.

I did go thru the EMDR therapy myself for ptsd. I found it effective at the time. It involved the same lights used in the exorcist movie, if anyone recalls the scene where she is in therapy.

Re: Interesting: your visual cortex gets switched off every time you move your eyes
Nice avatar OP Dr Flox was awesome. would have been nice to see a few episodes on his backstory.

also your thread is interesting, any way to turn it off other than LSD i thin I would prefer all the info even if blurry, maybe a firmware update?

Its interesting because wtf possible evolutionary advantage could there be in turning off your vision for microseconds? the evolution of eyes / eyelids / tear ducts and all the wetware processing that goes along with it makes no sense,

anything evolving to have have crusty dry eyes amongst species that have no sight is ludicrous, they would probably loose sight within hours, die of infection etc it days.

Meh enjoy the simulation folks.

Re: Interesting: your visual cortex gets switched off every time you move your eyes
what you are saying is motion is non existent to the human brain. it does not have the capacity to process it. Instead it tricks itself with some neat ways to believe it is processing motion. Ain't that a bitch! our mind is wired like a damn computer! Our mind builds up a matrix of images, frame upon frame to play it out in motion.

Re: Interesting: your visual cortex gets switched off every time you move your eyes
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.
 Quoting: Dr. Moran

ALL of what you perceive is "made up" in the brain. You don't see the world; you "see" a simulation of the world generated within your visual cortex. You're "seeing" neural signals inside your brain, not light itself.

What is the difference between brain circuits making you see something due to eye signals, or due to internal generation of the image? Both processes do the exact same thing in the brain.

If your brain was wired to a sufficiently complex computer, it could make you perceive anything at all, perfectly realistically, even though it was all "made up".

Yes, that's my predators stare. By fixing the eyes on a point, you can take in more info than my moving your eyes a lot.
 Quoting: BRIEF

It's true. Good point. I've noticed the same thing. 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.
 Quoting: Dr. Moran


In Martial arts, or any direct confrontation, striking just as your opponent moves their eyes may be just enough to slip past their guard.

Yes. Reality is blinking on-and-off at such speed that it looks like a stable, consistent unified field (of vision and matter), but our brains are projecting via the eyes dual images that appear to us as one without any gap (proven in the double-slit experiment, too). The non-locality of consciousness results in the brain simulating everything it 'sees' like from a data-stream and then it integrates them into one 'blinkered' reality.
