Did You Know You Are Blind For Hours Everday :the Phenomenon Of Saccadic Masking by Nobody: 2:33pm On Jun 16, 2015 |
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. The phenomenon was first described by Erdmann and Dodge in 1898, [1] when it was noticed during unrelated experiments that an observer could never see the motion of their own eyes. This can easily be duplicated by looking into a mirror, and looking from one eye to another. The eyes can never be observed in motion, yet an external observer clearly sees the motion of the eyes. The phenomenon is often used to help explain a temporal illusion by the name of Chronostasis , which momentarily occurs following a rapid eye-movement.
