"Your eyes and brain come pre-wired to make predictions, and they are usually right. Even babies know that. How good at you are making predictions? Ask four neuroscientists from Princeton, who figured, “Not bad.”
In fact, this capacity goes beyond just the eyes. “Efficient coding of predictive information is a principle that can be applied at every stage of neural computation,” they say. Did you
catch that word “coding”? and “information”? Notice, too, that a “principle” or a “computation” is not reducible to matter in motion.
Incidentally, there appears to be an important function for the rapid eye movements called “saccades” that our eyes constantly make, even when staring. Science Daily reports, “Patterns of brain activity reorganize visual perception during eye movements.” The oscillations reset the sensitivity of the neurons, and also support the brain’s representation of space. Bet you didn’t even notice those motions." CEH

I will praise You
because I have been
