Eyes Are the Windows to the Brain

Eyes Are the Windows to the Brain | Science News | Scoop.it

Cognitive science has updated the old adage that the eyes are the windows to the soul. New eye-tracking technology in the form of video cameras, which record every miniscule movement of the eye, are giving scientists important data on eye movement patterns—where we look, and for how long—revealing important information about how we read, how we learn and even what kind of people we are. Now the eyes are the window to the brain and scientists are exploring how we learn from text and images, including those viewed onscreen.

Researchers have developed an artificial retina that has the capacity to reproduce normal vision in mice. While other prosthetic strategies mainly increase the number of electrodes in an eye to capture more information, this study concentrated on incorporating the eye’s neural “code” that converts pictures into signals the brain can understand. The research was presented at Neuroscience 2010, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.
