Vision: when the clock appears to stop.
Abstract
Eye movements produce a temporary loss of visual sensitivity known as saccadic suppression, and a distortion of space perception known as saccadic compression. A new study has reported a seemingly related phenomenon --chronostasis---in which one's perception of time also undergoes an illusory distortion during rapid movements of the eyes.
