I see nothing.

(possibly it’s just my connection playing up though)

OK, it stopped playing up and started playing.

What do they mean by the eye being “wireless”?

How do they know babies see upside down?

Surely all of perception is in the brain, not just most of it?

it’s very vague

According to my Search training manual, the field of accurate visual acuity is the same size as your thumbnail at arm’s length. All the rest of everything we ‘see’ is being manufactured for us on-the-fly by the brain. Armed with this knowledge, a visual search is made much slower than the way normal people search. Searchers are also taught how not to Saccade, which is even more interesting…

Do they really, or do they saccade in a way that allows more effective searching?

How come our eye’s have not evolved to provide effective searching anyway? Surely effective searching would be pretty important for the survival of hunter/gatherers.

Random research paper found searching on: visual search techniques saccade

Humans not optimal searchers

Cheers for that 303, was only speaking with someone re matters related quite recently.

Nice less technical link on the same subject

We train them to use a visual ‘handrail’, that is, an object that remains in view although the searcher is moving over the search area – The wing of a plane is a good example. This seems to dramatically reduce saccading.

I believe there is some noticeable differences between the eyes of hunter-gatherer type people and crop-herder type people.

Thanks mr. 303 – all very interesting.

you move your eye from far to near right to left

you go from right to left because moving your eyes left to right is how you read meaning you could be unwittingly going into reading mode rather than search mode
