Patterns of brain activity reorganize visual perception during eye movements

(Canadian Association for Neuroscience) Research done by Dr. Christopher Pack, from McGill University suggests oscillations of activity observed in the brain could have a role in resetting the sensitivity of neurons after eye movements. Further results suggest these waves could also have a role in supporting the brain's representation of space. These results were presented at the 9th Annual Canadian Neuroscience Meeting, on May 25, 2015, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
