Research Project
The eyeball retracts towards its socket during a blink and is pushed back once the eyelid opens again. This translational movement is accompanied by a rotation of the eyeball, even though the extend of the rotation is a disputed issue. Blink-related eye movements were in fact barely studied in the past due to the technical difficulties of measuring them while the eyeball is occluded by the lid.
My research focuses on the development of novel experimental techniques to study these blink-related eye movements and their integration with regular eye movements like saccades. In detail, I want to make use of recent technological improvements in MRI and machine learning in combination with EOG to uncover the movement of the eyeball during a blink.
