Whereas other movements aim to change the state of the world, visual actions shift our eyes, heads, and bodies to align the retina with currently relevant parts of the world. Although they vitally extend the scope of high-acuity vision, their immediate sensory consequences have challenged scientists for centuries: How do we not experience the brisk motion of the entire scene on the retina every time the eyes move (perceptual omission)?
