A team of specialists from the University of Tubingen in Germany studied the movement of the eye of 11 volunteers with the help of tiny wires attached to the cornea. Based on observations, scientists have discovered the previously unnoticed movement of the eyeball, which is synchronized with the blink.
Such movement helps to bring the eye in Former position after observing the rotating object. This allows you to stabilize the perceived image. The process remains unnoticed because it happens automatically and almost instantly during the blink.
We were very surprised by finding a new type of eye movement. This result was not at all expected from the experiment, "says the lead author of Mohammad Hazali. - We planned to observe the other, already well-studied movement of the eyeball. "
Despite its short-term, blinking creates the necessary break in visual perception. On average, the person spends a man to one tenth of time during wakefulness. This process plays an important role in the moistening of the eye and provides the brain with frequent and small breaks.
