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 ...

Recent investigations in vision science have revealed that eye movements play an active role beyond the mere stabilization of retinal images. Instead of serving a passive function, subtle ocular ...

Researchers at the University of Nevada recently tracked the eye movement of athletes in different sports to learn how head ...

Recent studies have explored the dynamic interplay between ocular behaviour and the retrieval of visual memories. Notably, eye movements observed during mental imagery often reflect the patterns ...

Eye movements read by a new AI application can reveal thoughts, memories, goals — and brain diseases. A new tool developed at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Norway and described in an ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dopamine neurons—the cells that drive reward and motivation while we're awake—become surprisingly active during nonrapid eye movement sleep right after we learn something new.

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 ...

What Are the Causes of Abnormal Head Posture? Abnormal head posture commonly occurs due to neck muscle problems, but the condition has eye-related or ocular causes too. Certain eye conditions can ...
