Your Eye Sees Trouble Before You Do... And here I always thought that MY eyes see things at exactly the same time I see them.

From the article:
This ability may have evolved to speed escape from predators.
Sure enough!

Who am I to believe? Me or my lying eyes?

Wow. My eyes just saw a giant sausage and onion pizza crash through a window on the 67th floor of the Sears Tower.
But I haven't seen it yet.
In fact, I'm nowhere near the Sears Tower.
That really is amazing.

More like this...

But not likely.

the eye and brain that are quicker and more automatic than our reflexesDuh. Your eyes have to see something before your brain processes it and then it takes time for your muscles to move away from danger. More wasted $$$$.

Autonomic exceeds the cognizant. That’s not a new observation. It doesn’t take much higher thought to have developed reflexive actions. Invertebrates are just as good at avoidance.
To: GodGunsGuts
Keep in mind that the eye is a physical extension of the brain, and that therefore, in a way, even the eyeball is brain tissue. It could be that there is some sort of low-level processing going on at the retina or optic nerve that bypasses the higher, interpretive centers of the brain for some stimuli.

My eyes saw it too, and Im in Virginia!And it was sausage and onion, right?
I wasn't completely sure about that part. I know I saw the sausage, but wasn't positive about the onions.
I do know that it was the 67th floor, because I had time to count.
And I'm thousands of miles from there. It works!

Your eyes don’t “see” anything until the image is recognized and processed. As it turns out, scientists are discovering that that this capablity exists both in the brain, and for quicker response times, in the eye itself. I would imagine this discovery has profound implications with respect to ophthalmology, etc.
