Being able to see during ocular saccades. I was surprised to hear in so many videos “your brain blinds you because it would be nauseating”
No it’s not ? It’s just blurry.
Also, apparently some people can’t consciously control the focus distance of their eyes.
This was a surprise for me as well as a child. I thought my eyes would change in how they look when I made them blurry, but yeah, you can't see that.
That's interesting, for most people the brain just substitutes in the image of where your eye moves to, so it feels instantaneous. (there's no noticeable blindness) But you can see throughout the full movement?
In a similar vein, I never understood having a "dominant eye". I honestly don't really understand the concept, I guess most people's brains will cancel out information from one eye?
My eyes still focus automatically (though a bit slow sometimes). But if I want to, I can get my eyes out of focus pretty easily.
Yeah I can defocus my eyes too, I assume most people can. I've never heard of someone being able to see during saccades though.
Ah sorry I forgot there was another part of that comment when i read your reply lol
Which eye did your circle arrive at?
It's a sailboat!
A schooner is a sailboat, stupid head.
TIL that some people can't do that. huh
