Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University Visual mental imagery refers to the ability to conjure images in one’s mind’s eye. This allows people to process visual material above and beyond the constraints of a current point-of-view; for example, a person could imagine, using their mind’s eye, how something might look in a different color, or what it would look like if it were made from a different material or rotated and seen from a different perspective. Mental imagery...

Source: Nicholas Timmons, Asantha Cooray, PhD, Department of Physics & Astronomy, School of Physical Sciences, University of California, Irvine, CA Inertia is the resistance of an object to being accelerated. In linear kinematics, this concept is directly related to the mass of an object. The more massive an object, the more force is required to accelerate that object. This is seen directly in Newton's second law, which states that force is equal to mass times acceleration. For rotation,...

The Rotating Exercise Quantification System (REQS) can induce exercise in Drosophila melanogaster through rotation while simultaneously measuring the amount of activity performed by the animals. Here, we present a point-by-point protocol detailing how to measure activity levels of animals experiencing rotational exercise treatments using the REQS.

Quantification of Tear Volume in an Autoimmune Dry Eye Rat Model using the Phenol Red Thread

2025
This video demonstrates the phenol red thread test to determine tear volume in an autoimmune dry eye rat model. The pH-sensitive acidic phenol red thread changes color when it comes in contact with the alkaline tears. The shorter length of color change in the phenol red thread corresponds to reduced tear volume.
FAQs
Eye-tracking systems first capture changes in eye position across time. Those time-varying signals are then transformed into rotational angles, allowing researchers to represent where the eyes are directed in space rather than relying on a purely descriptive observation. This conversion creates a quantitative basis for analyzing gaze direction, movement speed, coordination, and timing.
Amplitude describes the size of an eye rotation, velocity indicates how quickly the movement occurs, and latency captures when the movement begins. Considering these measures together is important because two movements can have similar amplitudes but differ in speed or onset. Their combined profile helps characterize oculomotor behavior more precisely.
Coordination measures help reveal whether the eyes move together in an organized manner, while gaze-stability measures address how consistently direction is maintained. Tracking behavior adds information about how eye position changes during visual tasks. In neuroscience, these dimensions connect observable movement patterns with sensorimotor control and neural pathways supporting perception and movement.
A basic workflow begins by recording eye position with an eye-tracking system over time. Researchers then convert the recorded signals into rotational angles and calculate movement parameters such as amplitude, velocity, and latency. Examining these values together produces objective measurements that can be compared across gaze behaviors, coordination patterns, or experimental conditions.
Quantified gaze direction and movement timing provide objective indicators of where and how the eyes move during visual behavior. Researchers can examine these measurements alongside visual-attention questions to identify patterns in gaze allocation and oculomotor behavior. The resulting data help connect observable eye movements with the sensorimotor processes involved in perception.
Eye rotation measurements can support investigations of brain function and neurological disorders by exposing atypical gaze stability, tracking, or coordinated eye movements. Because the measurements include spatial and temporal movement properties, researchers can describe abnormalities more objectively than with informal observation alone. These findings may clarify changes in oculomotor behavior and related neural pathways.
