fundamentally, the greatness of scorcese’s performance in gonchorave is due to his eye movement. it’s hypnotizing and enthralling, and you can truly see the fading in spirit from a young, ambitious, henchman to a griddled, bagpipe playing boss. he was robbed of that oscar (and so was the clothing department that kilt was great)

Blinking has been shown to actually boost vision, rather than impair it as previously thought. Research has found that blinking increases the power of retinal stimulation, enhances visibility, and helps reformat visual information. Despite the brief blackouts in vision that occur during blinking, neural activity rebounds to a higher level afterward, improving vision. This new study suggests that blinking is useful for more than just lubricating the eyes, and plays a crucial role in enhancing visual perception.

[embraceyourdestiny]

to any americans who feel "paralyzed" and "dont know what to do" to help with gaza:

reading a fucking book. i beg of you.

in a time of knowledge suppression is it your duty to arm yourself with knowledge.

read about americas occupations in the middle east.

read about 9/11 from outside of america and see how they inflicted senseless harm and violence to countless amounts of people and have been suppressing your rights for the past 2 fucking decades.

read about any of the countless wars from the past 30 years. especially from a civilian's. and the victims and survivors' perspective. listen to the horror stories and do not plug your fucking ears as to what your country is doing.

and read about fucking gaza and palestine and keep up with what is happening no matter how "sad" or "uncountable" you might get.

dont look away from this.

you dont have the right to be comfortable during countless active genocides.

if you're knowledgeable, you're powerful, and our current state doesnt fucking want that.

you have the power to change things if you open your eyes and scream to the world.

wake the fuck up.

Edit: please check the reblogs there are readings and ways to help

#og #truly if youre not about it your against it and i dont fuck with you because you're complacent #wake the fuck up #we're all responsible and dont you dare say you're not #americans need to stop living in the world with their eyes closed and their ears covered #look at what your fucking 'glorious country' is doing to people #everyone should be against america no fucking exceptions because america is violent and evil and needs to be stopped #then read about what america has done to the natives of their land #radicalize yourself #decolonize your mind #free palestine #land back #palestine will be free #theres too many fucking movements of just the past couple years all happening at once to act like the world is fucking fine #we are in a human rights CRISIS #WAKE THE FUCK UP PLEASE

Your Eyes Talk to Your Ears. Scientists Know What They’re Saying - Technology Org

Your Eyes Talk to Your Ears. Scientists Know What They’re Saying - Technology Org

Scientists can now pinpoint where someone’s eyes are looking just by listening to their ears.

“You can actually estimate the movement of the eyes, the position of the target that the eyes are going to look at, just from recordings made with a microphone in the ear canal,” said Jennifer Groh, Ph.D., senior author of the new report, and a professor in the departments of psychology & neuroscience as well as neurobiology at Duke University.

In 2018, Groh’s team discovered that the ears make a subtle, imperceptible noise when the eyes move. In a new report appearing the week of November 20 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Duke team now shows that these sounds can reveal where your eyes are looking.

It also works the other way around. Just by knowing where someone is looking, Groh and her team were able to predict what the waveform of the subtle ear sound would look like.

These sounds, Groh believes, may be caused when eye movements stimulate the brain to contract either middle ear muscles, which typically help dampen loud sounds, or the hair cells that help amplify quiet sounds.

The exact purpose of these ear squeaks is unclear, but Groh’s initial hunch is that it might help sharpen people’s perception.

“We think this is part of a system for allowing the brain to match up where sights and sounds are located, even though our eyes can move when our head and ears do not,” Groh said.

Understanding the relationship between subtle ear sounds and vision might lead to the development of new clinical tests for hearing.

“If each part of the ear contributes individual rules for the eardrum signal, then they could be used as a type of clinical tool to assess which part of the anatomy in the ear is malfunctioning,” said Stephanie Lovich, one of the lead authors of the paper and a graduate student in psychology & neuroscience at Duke.

Just as the eye’s pupils constrict or dilate like a camera’s aperture to adjust how much light gets in, the ears too have their own way to regulate hearing. Scientists long thought that these sound-regulating mechanisms only helped to amplify soft sounds or dampen loud ones. But in 2018, Groh and her team discovered that these same sound-regulating mechanisms were also activated by eye movements, suggesting that the brain informs the ears about the eye’s movements.

In their latest study, the research team followed up on their initial discovery and investigated whether the faint auditory signals contained detailed information about the eye movements.

To decode people’s ear sounds, Groh’s team at Duke and Professor Christopher Shera, Ph.D. from the University of Southern California, recruited 16 adults with unimpaired vision and hearing to Groh’s lab in Durham to take a fairly simple eye test.

Participants looked at a static green dot on a computer screen, then, without moving their heads, tracked the dot with their eyes as it disappeared and then reappeared either up, down, left, right, or diagonal from the starting point. This gave Groh’s team a wide-range of auditory signals generated as the eyes moved horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

An eye tracker recorded where participant’s pupils were darting to compare against the ear sounds, which were captured using a microphone-embedded pair of earbuds.

The research team analyzed the ear sounds and found unique signatures for different directions of movement. This enabled them to crack the ear sound’s code and calculate where people were looking just by scrutinizing a soundwave.

“Since a diagonal eye movement is just a horizontal component and vertical component, my labmate and co-author David Murphy realized you can take those two components and guess what they would be if you put them together,” Lovich said. “Then you can go in the opposite direction and look at an oscillation to predict that someone was looking 30 degrees to the left.”

Groh is now starting to examine whether these ear sounds play a role in perception.

One set of projects is focused on how eye-movement ear sounds may be different in people with hearing or vision loss.

Groh is also testing whether people who don’t have hearing or vision loss will generate ear signals that can predict how well they do on a sound localization task, like spotting where an ambulance is while driving, which relies on mapping auditory information onto a visual scene.

“Some folks have a really reproducible signal day-to-day, and you can measure it quickly,” Groh said. “You might expect those folks to be really good at a visual-auditory task compared to other folks, where it’s more variable.”

Groh’s research was supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIDCD DC017532).

Character Movements (Eyes) Part 3

1. Gazing: The character's eyes move slowly across a scene or object, taking in the details. This movement can indicate curiosity, interest, or observation.

2. Darting: The character's eyes quickly shift from one point to another, often indicating nervousness, suspicion, or alertness.

3. Winking: One eye briefly closes while the other remains open, often used to convey playfulness, flirtation, or a shared secret.

4. Rolling eyes: The character's eyes move upward or to the side, indicating annoyance, disbelief, or sarcasm.

5. Narrowing eyes: The character's eyes become slits or squinted, suggesting suspicion, scrutiny, or concentration.

6. Widening eyes: The character's eyes open wider than usual, indicating surprise, shock, or fear.

7. Glancing: The character's eyes quickly move in a specific direction, often used to check for danger or to communicate a message without words.

8. Staring: The character's eyes fixate on a specific point or person for an extended period, often indicating intensity, fascination, or intimidation.

9. Flickering eyes: The character's eyes flicker rapidly between different objects or individuals, suggesting indecisiveness, confusion, or distraction.

10. Blinking: The character's eyes momentarily close and open, mimicking a natural blinking pattern. This movement helps to convey realism and prevent the eyes from appearing static.

Miss White Noise

Short video comprising of images of what is behind my eyes, the windows to the unconscious self and by only using eyes and perhaps by letting people see, then we may have a better understanding. I used white noise, because my surname, which I have just reclaimed back, after a divorce, is White . I also felt that if we were able to calm intrusive thoughts, other people's noise, then we can have clarity of who we are and therefore a better ability to communicate.

I believe that having a soothing white noise in the background, breaking through intrusive thoughts, soothes what is behind my eyes, the erratic thoughts can be dispersed, like tuning into an old TV or radio station, until you find the level that suits your mind.

Aphantasia reveals itself in your pupils

Some people are unable to create mental images: this is called aphantasia. This condition, which is still little known, nevertheless affects between 2 and 5% of the population. Impossible to detect other than by the experience of patients until today, it would in fact be visible in the eyes according to a study!

since @icy-watch has finished seabound (my condolences btw a heartbreaking season finale to get through) I feel I should remind us all of one of the BEST FIGHT SCENES IN NINJAGO

#listen for those who don’t know my background is in ankmation and this group fight is PHENOMENAL #the ninja v the merlopians being one continuous shot with dramatically shifting camera movements and multiple focus characters is beautiful #and seamlessly executed #the way the fight choreo leads the viewers eye so you don’t get lost in everything going on is beautifully done #I would do literally ANYTHING to see the storyboards for this scene to study #Ninjago #lego ninjago #seabound #jay #lloyd #cole #kai #zane #pixal #Wu #benthomaar #kalmaar #wojira #spinjitsu screams #animation

myth of the bare palm

text:

Our kind used to be hulking things of feathers and claws,

more gods than animals, roaming the snowed planes endless,

until we found each others

and in jubilant relief reached out

claws retracting,

feathers shedding,

so the moment of contact branded heat against bare skin.

#bakuspecial #comic #original art #ask to tag #hi! more creachure #for the record my perspective on this is that I'd fucking love to look like that^ and the #shedding of claws and feathers is a sacrifice #okay Im done lol annual cringe poetry slot filled #what do we learn? well we learn we should remember to prep our gotdamn nib #(I forgot to remove the oil on the nib lol I just plugged that shit in raw on purchase) #(no wonder it held like. two drops of ink at most) #and we learn drawing feathers with a dip pen slaps. just kinetically awesome #movement so slick I forgot and did the vane direction backward for the majority of this lmao #but it was fun. I also forwent the light table for this one so I didnt have to glue my eyes to the paper or turn off my light #waiting for the ink to dry properly sucks tho... well. you win some you lose some #okay. I gotta so lay down now. or eat dinner I havent decided #have a good nite! collide with a guy at high velocity okay?

Guys I was playing the event stories again one last time before they went away forever and I just noticed the sweetest fucking thing ever

When you first walk up to Zayne and catch him on his phone, look at his face. He goes from his normal neutral expression to the softest little smile when he realizes it's you/mc walking up to him 🥺🥺🥺

He even straightens himself up a little taller when he sees you i'm dying send help 😩

I'm gonna squish him 🥲

#this moment is literally less than a second in the game #and its the very first second of the scene so its so easy to miss #if you still have access to the event PLEASE go see it is so so so cute #as someone who spent years and years professionally studying body language- All of my love goes to the programmers of LnDS #i could write for ages on all of the movements and little mannerisms they have and how in tune they are with their psych profiles #but this little 1 second moment right here? its perfect #when I saw him straighted up a little as his eyes got all soft i melted ahh #love and deepspace #lads #l&ds #lnds #love & deepspace #zayne #zayne love and deepspace #love and deepspace zayne

[the-ships-to-rule-them-all]

the level at which people are misusing the term "Never Again" in the far left absolutely infuriates me.

"Never Again" doesn't refer to the idea of no more genocides -- unfortunately people are evil and corrupt and seek scapegoats and destruction, there were genocides in the years following the Holocaust, there were genocides 10 years ago, there are multiple genocides going on as we speak

"Never Again" means we as Jews will pay attention to the warning signs, will not mindlessly allow antisemitism to fester and take over our communities, we will fight back. it means we will be proud. it means we will not let you hate us without a word of refusal.

"Never Again" is a warning for us, it is a reminder that what happened then can happen now -- is happening now. The Far Left doesn't get to use it against us. You don't get to turn our tragedies into hate-speech and antisemitic rhetoric.
