Learn what afterimages can teach us about how our brains predict our visual movements.

Scientists find vision slightly lags behind eye movement, revealing how the brain predicts motion to keep the world stable.

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The study found that a simplified artificial ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and colleagues decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The ...

“These eye movements are so tiny that we’re not even conscious of them, and yet our brains somehow can use the knowledge of the visual task to control them,” says study lead author Dr. Yen-Chu Lin, ...

If you quickly move a camera from object to object, the abrupt shift between the two points causes a motion smear that might give you nausea. Our eyes, however, do movements like these two or three ...

Your eyes might be giving away secrets about your brain’s future that you don’t even know yet. Researchers have discovered that specific eye movement patterns can predict Alzheimer’s disease ...

Staring into the eyes of Mona Lisa is unnerving. Regardless of your vantage point, Mona Lisa appears to shift her gaze to make eye contact and stare you down. What nonverbal cues do the movements of ...

Zebrafish, photographed with confocal microscope. The brain region that controls eye movement is structurally similar in fish and mammals, but the zebrafish system contains only 500 neurons, making it ...
