Researchers found that participants with Parkinson's who performed rapid side-to-side eye movements showed reduced body sway and improved posture. In contrast, those with Parkinson's who made vertical saccadic eye movements experienced increased body instability.
Researchers at Tohoku University discovered that visual processing is facilitated by spaces near the hand, revealing a process independent of top-down attention. The study found differences in hand proximity attention between left-handers and right-handers, suggesting a possible link to handedness variation.
Tiny fixational eye movements, beyond human awareness, are critical for fine details and everyday tasks. Microsaccades cause transient visual suppression during gaze shifts, but vision recovers rapidly at the center of gaze, leading to enhanced overall visibility.
A study by Tohoku University's Research Institute of Electrical Communication reveals that visual stability across saccades occurs when parvo-pathway signals suppress magno-pathway signals immediately after a saccade. This finding has implications for AI and robots to perceive the world as humans do.
Researchers have developed a novel method enabling infinite walking in VR by manipulating user eye movements during saccadic suppression. The system successfully redirects users away from obstacles in the physical space while avoiding scene distortions.
