Senses and stuff
My 'article' is about saccades. They're the short bursts of movements your eyes use to move around. The post summarized is basically:
1) During these bursts of movement, your eyesight essentially stops working. In order to compensate for the distance travelled, your brain basically plays your beginning position to your end position, but backwards.
2) Your peripheral vision is in black and white, unless you focus your attention on it.
3) Laser damage is harmful, as you might not be able to tell if you have it. Your brain is adept at hiding holes in your vision, as you can tell by bullet point 1.
4) Your eyes technically flip your vision, however, they've adapted to see normally.
5) Cephalopods don't have blind spots, have an internal lens, and can see polarization of light.
This is one of my favourite things to read, actually! I revisit it every so often :D
