What an RAF pilot can teach us about being safe on the road
When you move your head and eyes to scan a scene, your eyes are incapable of moving smoothly across it and seeing everything. Instead, you see in the image in a series of very quick jumps (called saccades) with very short pauses (called fixations) and it is only during the pauses that an image is processed.Your brain fills in the gaps with a combination of peripheral vision and an assumption that what is in the gaps must be the same as what you see during the pauses.This might sound crazy, but your brainย actually blocks the imageย that is being received while your eyes are moving.
This is why you do not see the sort of blurred image, that you see when you look sideways out of a train window.
Sorry if this was done before.
