Naps with rapid eye movement sleep increase receptiveness to positive emotion
Naps with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep refresh the brain's empathetic sensitivity for evaluating human emotions by decreasing a negative bias and amplifying recognition of positive emotions. view more (2009-06-10)
Researchers Find Eye Movement Can Affect Problem-solving, Cognition
A pair of Beckman Institute researchers has discovered that by directing the eye movements of test subjects they were able to affect the participants' ability to solve a problem, demonstrating that eye movement is not just a function of cognition but can actually affect our cognitive processes. view more (2007-09-25)
Researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute resolve 40-year eye movement, visibility controversy
For more than 40 years, a scientific controversy has raged over whether microsaccades, rapid eye movements that occur when a person's gaze is fixated, are responsible for visibility. view more (2006-01-20)
New Technology Opens Up PC World To Disabled
Researchers at the University of Ulster have developed new technology that could revolutionize the quality of life for the disabled. The Look Device allows individuals with severe physical impairments to control the operation of a computer cursor solely with the movement of their eyes. A set of customised spectacles, with built in sensors,... view more... (2002-11-12)
Rutgers Research: Discoveries Shed New Light on How the Brain Processes What the Eye Sees
Researchers at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN) at Rutgers University in Newark have identified the need to develop a new framework for understanding "perceptual stability" and how we see the world with their discovery that visual input obtained during eye movements is being processed by the brain but blocked... view more...

Blindsight: How brain sees what you do not see
Blindsight is a phenomenon in which patients with damage in the primary visual cortex of the brain can tell where an object is although they claim they cannot see it. view more (2008-10-15)
New study suggests the brain predicts what eyes in motion will see
When the eyes move, objects in the line of sight suddenly jump to a different place on the retina, but the mind perceives the scene as stable and continuous. view more (2009-08-26)
Barrow scientists make headlines for their research on fixational eye movements
Susana Martinez-Conde, Ph.D., director of the Laboratory of Visual Neuroscience, and Stephen Macknik, Ph.D., director of the Laboratory of Behavioral Neurophysiology at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, are featured on the cover of the August issue of Scientific American for their research on fixational eye... view more...

Sleep deprivation affects eye-steering coordination when driving
Driving a vehicle requires coordination of horizontal eye movements and steering. view more (2007-06-11)
Gold beads show previously unseen parts of the eye
A new study recently published in Journal of Vision, an online, free access publication of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), shows that gold beads injected into eye tissue can be used to obtain images of important structures in the orbit that cannot be seen with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or other imaging... view more...

A walking robot goes mountaineering
The human gait is a marvel of coordination. All aspects of movement control - from the angle of the knee joints to the momentum of the hip up to the balance point of the torso - need to be meticulously adjusted. view more (2007-07-13)
Tobacco exposure in womb may slow arousal response and help explain increased cot death risk among babies of smokers
A slower arousal response, as a result of tobacco exposure in the womb, might explain the increased risk of cot death (SIDS) among babies of smokers, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-12-17)
Genetic mutation identified for eye complaint
An international research collaboration including research teams from the Children's Hospital in Boston (USA), King's College London and the Peninsula Medical School, has identified a gene that, when mutated, causes Duane syndrome. view more (2008-07-25)
Baby's first dreams
After about seven months growing in the womb, a human fetus spends most of its time asleep. Its brain cycles back and forth between the frenzied activity of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and the quiet resting state of non-REM sleep. view more (2009-04-14)
Third of eye strain complaints about computer monitors indicate workplace dissatisfaction
One in three complaints of eye strain, attributed to computer monitors, is really about employee dissatisfaction with working conditions, suggests research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Over 200 banking employees completed three questionnaires on job stress, environmental working conditions, and levels of eye strain as a result of... view more... (2001-03-12)
New 'eye movement' test may help treat fetal alcohol syndrome
A simple test that measures eye movement may help to identify children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and ultimately lead to improved treatment for the condition, say Queen's University researchers. view more (2005-11-14)
Immune deficiency linked to a type of eye cancer
The incidence of squamous cell eye cancer is greater among kidney transplant patients and people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) than the general public, which suggests the disease is associated with immune deficiency. view more (2007-08-15)
Barrow scientists solve 200-year-old scientific debate involving visual illusions
Neuroscientists at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center have discovered a direct link between eye motions and the perception of illusory motion that solves a 200-year-old debate. view more (2008-11-21)
New technique to detect diabetic retinopathy
The ophthalmology team of the University Clinic of the University of Navarre has published a new technique to detect diabetic retinopathy. This research has been published in the magazine Investigative Ophthamology and Visual Science. The research is based on the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). This test allows measuring the thickness of eye... view more... (2002-11-26)
Scientists identify brain regions that decide where we look
Scientists have found the brain regions that decide where we look, and where to direct our eyes when we're faced with a difficult choice, such as looking someone straight in the eye or looking away. view more (2005-01-24)
