Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saccades are rapid, ballistic movements of the eyes that abruptly change the point of fixation. They are crucial for the visual system's ability to fixate on different objects in the visual field, allowing us to see objects that are stationary. Without saccades, our ability to refresh the image on our retinas would be impaired, leading to a phenomenon known as visual fading or Troxler's fading, where stationary objects in our visual field might disappear or become invisible over time because without the tiny movements, the neurons do not respond to unchanging images.
