- 1Saccadic masking: the brain edits what you see●Your visual cortex temporarily cuts video transmission during eye saccades (saccadic masking) so your skull's vibration
The brain briefly suppresses visual input during rapid eye movements, a process known as saccadic masking, so that the movement of the skull and eyes does not create a sense of motion sickness. The observation has sparked discussion that human consciousness never experiences raw physical reality directly, but instead a predictive rendering generated by the brain a few moments at a time.
