Horizontal eye movement is thought to trigger an "orienting response" in the brain, used in scanning the environment for threats and opportunities. [52] The idea that eye movement prompts communication between the two sides of the brain. This idea is not grounded in accepted neuroscience. [51]
An example of eye movement over a photograph over the span of just two seconds. Eye movement includes the voluntary or involuntary movement of the eyes. Eye movements are used by a number of organisms (e.g. primates, rodents, flies, birds, fish, cats, crabs, octopus) to fixate, inspect and track visual objects of interests.
Oculesics, a subcategory of kinesics, is the study of eye movement, behavior, gaze, and eye-related nonverbal communication. The term's specific designation slightly varies apropos of the field of study (e.g., medicine or social science ).
In primates, eye movements can be divided into several types: fixation, in which the eyes are directed toward a motionless object, with eye movements only to compensate for movements of the head; smooth pursuit, in which the eyes move steadily to track a moving object; saccades, in which the eyes move very rapidly from one location to another ...
Instead Hering's law predicts that because both eyes must move by equal amounts, a combination of conjunctive and disjunctive eye movements is required to refoveate the target point. Yarbus [5] showed experimentally that binocular eyes movements are indeed composed mostly of combinations of saccades and vergence. However, it is now known that ...
A conjugate eye movement is a movement of both eyes in the same direction to maintain binocular gaze (also referred to as “yoked” eye movement). This is in contrast to vergence eye movement, where binocular gaze is maintained by moving eyes in opposite directions, such as going “cross eyed” to view an object moving towards the face.
Ocular microtremor tracing with burst sections underlined. Ocular tremor (ocular microtremor) is a constant, involuntary eye tremor of a low amplitude and high frequency. It is a type of fixational eye movement that occurs in all normal people, even when the eye appears still. [1]
Trace of saccades of the human eye on a face while scanning Saccades during observation of a picture on a computer screen. A saccade (/ s ə ˈ k ɑː d / sə-KAHD; French:; French for 'jerk') is a quick, simultaneous movement of both eyes between two or more phases of focal points in the same direction. [1]
