Eye Blinks as a Visual Processing Stage

2023-06-21

Abstract excerpt

Humans blink their eyes frequently during normal viewing, more often than it seems necessary for keeping the cornea well lubricated. Since the closure of the eyelid disrupts the image on the retina, eye blinks are commonly assumed to be detrimental to visual processing. However, blinks also provide luminance modulations rich in spatial information to neural pathways highly sensitive to temporal changes. Here we re...
