The ways our eyes explore the world change subtly over time, affected by age and illness. A new study now suggests some of those changes could be used to identify problems with memory and cognition.

Over recent decades, research has increasingly supported the notion that specific patterns of eye movements can modulate memory retrieval processes. In particular, bilateral saccadic eye movements are ...

The eyes don’t just see, but these organs remember as well. It turns out eyes could be used for memory testing. That’s the idea behind a new study by Tel Aviv University, Israel, and Ichilov Hospital, ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (“Ichilov”), have measured subjects' memory without asking whether they remembered something or not - just by tracking ...

Your eyes might be the window to your future brain health, and what researchers are discovering could change how we detect Alzheimer’s disease forever. Long before memory problems become noticeable, ...

Naturalistic gaze patterns appear to be a simple, noninvasive, and reliable indicator of cognitive decline, new research suggested. Investigators found that gaze patterns during image viewing mirrored ...

A very subtle and seemingly random type of eye movement called ocular drift can be influenced by prior knowledge of the expected visual target, suggesting a surprising level of cognitive control over ...

Your eyes might be giving away secrets about your brain’s future that you don’t even know yet. Researchers have discovered that specific eye movement patterns can predict Alzheimer’s disease ...

Some people who act out their dreams, screaming, laughing and even getting violent during sleep, may develop dementia in ...

EMDR is a psychotherapy technique designed to relieve the distress associated with disturbing memories. Short for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, it involves recalling a specific ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and colleagues decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The ...

Recent studies have explored the dynamic interplay between ocular behaviour and the retrieval of visual memories. Notably, eye movements observed during mental imagery often reflect the patterns ...
