Why You’ll Never See Your Eyes Move in a Mirror

The video explores how our eyes and brain work together to stabilize our vision, despite constant eye movements called saccades. It delves into experiments showing how our brain fills in visual gaps, leading to phenomena like the chronostasis illusion, where time perception is altered. The video also discusses research on these illusions and their implications for understanding brain function.

What is the term used to describe the rapid movements of the eyes?

• Saccades

• Peripheral vision

• Chronostasis

• Trans-saccadic memory

How does the brain handle the visual gaps created during saccades?

• By slowing down eye movements

• By creating a blurry image

• By ignoring them completely

• By filling them with surrounding visual information

What is the illusion called where time seems to stop momentarily?

• Chronostasis

• Saccades

• Temporal distortion

• Trans-saccadic memory

In the chronostasis illusion, what happens when you look at a ticking watch?

• The second hand seems to pause briefly

• The second hand appears to move faster

• The watch face becomes blurry

• The watch stops ticking

Which brain region is thought to be involved in the chronostasis illusion?

• Cerebellum

• Superior colliculus

• Hippocampus

• Amygdala

How do people perceive the duration of a vibrating handle in experiments related to chronostasis?

• They cannot perceive it at all

• They underestimate the duration

• They overestimate the duration

• They perceive it accurately

What is a common challenge in studying the chronostasis illusion?

• Inability to track eye movements

• Lack of technology

• Inconsistent experimental results

• Difficulty in accessing visual systems of living beings
