Our eyes don't linger because recognition is hard; they linger to remember. Let me take you on a quick tour. 🧵
🚨 New publication in collab with Shayna Rosenbaum's lab:
"Aphantasia is associated with spatial memory and navigation difficulties in complex virtual environments"
Our test SeaHeroQuest shows a correlation between nav performance and mental imagery (VVIQ)

By combining magnetoencephalography and eye tracking, this study sheds light on why people fixate on some parts of natural scenes longer than others. Rather than visual complexity, fixation durations ...
