Saccadic masking, also known as (visual) saccadic suppression, is the phenomenon in visual perception where the brain selectively blocks visual processing during eye movements in such a way that neither the motion of the eye (and subsequent motion blur of the image) nor the gap in visual perception is noticeable to the viewer.
Pope Benedict has announced that his faithful can once again pay the Catholic Church to ease their way through Purgatory and into the Gates of Heaven. ... a monetary donation wouldn't go amiss ...
During gaze shifts, for example when an object appears in the periphery, humans usually move both their eyes and head to capture the object of interest. In experiments, in which participants needed to shift their gaze to detect a visual target, people with schizophrenia exhibit abnormal eye-head coordination, and no modulation of saccadic ...
Rather, we watched the Cowboys, who have every reason in the world to start letting their eyes wander toward offseason vacation plans, keep their gaze forward and put together a high-effort win ...
Jesus in the Gospels uses various images for heaven that are similarly found in Jannah: feast, mansion, throne, and paradise.
