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 are saccades and how do they affect our perception of motion?

Describe the findings of the study where participants had to flip a switch when they saw an image jump.

How does the brain fill in gaps during saccades, and what implications does this have for our visual experience?

Explain the concept of chronostasis and how it relates to our perception of time.

What role does the superior colliculus play in visual processing and the chronostasis illusion?

Discuss how the perception of time can vary based on sensory experiences beyond vision.

What are some potential reasons why our perception of time is inconsistent?
