Smooth pursuit eye movements enable the continuous tracking of moving objects, a function that is critical for both accurate visual perception and the coordination of motor actions. Research in this ...

PHILADELPHIA -- Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have shed new light on how the brain and eye team up to spot an object in motion and follow it, a classic question of human motor control.

The visual perception of optical stimuli demands high performance from the brain. Every second, the eyes absorb more than 10 million pieces of information and transmit them to the brain via thousands ...

During smooth pursuit eye movement, both low and high level motion perception have their influence. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to ...

In 2006, researchers Peter Tse and Po-Jang Hsieh at Dartmouth College reported a striking new illusion, the infinite regress illusion, that went on to wow audiences at the Illusion of the Year Contest ...

Repetitive eye movement produces a compelling motion aftereffect (MAE). One mechanism thought to contribute to the illusory movement is an extra-retinal motion signal generated after adaptation.
