Torsional eye movement, known as cycloversion and cyclovergence have a fascinating evolutionary history via our evolutionary ancestors that had eyes on the sides of their heads. Your eyes twist in this way whenever you tilt your head!

Hello Steve.
Excited to see you do things like this once we have good eye-tracking cameras in VR
Does the brain not use any information from the instructions it sends out? Such as when rotate the head it will automatically rotate the eyes as well, regardless of the direction of rotation and visual information.

Fun fact, if you succesfully managed to view the pen in 3D, you can do the same with two "identical" images next to each other and spot the mistakes in one of the pictures. If you know the game - find five differences. The differences are the spots where you can see a "small" blinking from the merged picture.

I’ve experienced this orbital rotation when nodding off then snapping awake while my head bobbled forward and back. The brief moment it took my eyes to re-align, I could see the world, Horizon, rotate though my head was stationary. Very strange. Especially, when my eyes fail to re-align and feel stuck.
8:29 omg OMG thats so crazy, what im getting from this is that the reason why when you spin and spin and spin around on yourself then stop, your vision is tilted and when your eyes look around it sets back to this tilted position each time, slowly it reverts to normal. i never thought it was your eyes literally TWISTING THEMSELVES IN YOUR EYESOCKETS. this is truly mindblowing. thank you, for sharing this neat piece of info.

Fun fact... birds can't move their eyes in their head, so they use their neck muscles to stabilize their vision. That's why you see birds bobbing their head when they walk, it's because they keep their head still to maintain a steady image, then snap forward quickly onto the next position. It's similar to Steve's analogy about looking at trees when riding the train or in a car.
my parrot can move her eyes.
basspig yeah not true for all birds, but those with gyroscopic heads, like the chicken
@@victormilev Yeah, I can imagine different species of birds will have varied degrees of eye control. My Congo African Grey can move her eyeballs without moving her head. She can also voluntarily control her pupil aperture, which is neat.
Yeah um, I'm pretty surey birb can move its eyes.
The point is true for certain birds. Chickens, pigeons and owls are a few.
I have diplopia from these kind of movements not functioning ok on my right eye. This video has shown what kind of exercises I can use to hopefully retrain my nerves and muscles. Thank you.
So cool you can see three pencils when you cross your eyes and it does appear as there is a like 3d version of the picture and there are 3 pencils. Crazy how it transforms like that.

Brilliant video again! Thank you for the great STEM content.
Since I was a child I could perceive my eyes, when looking for motion tracking spinning or even when I tilted my head had somewhat kind of a "step", adjusting the horizon. Apparently, those rolling muscles are not that fine tuned as the other four ones.
Honestly, this is the most disgusting and interesting thing ever. Edit: maybe I worded it wrong, it’s not a gross disgusting, more of like a weird disgusting. As in like it’s interesting cause I never knew it but it’s looks uncomfortable in a way idk 🤷♀️

It's insane to think how our eyes can smoothly follow a slow moving object, and we're unable to replicate that movement without jumping if the moving object wasn't there.
If you actually slightly unfocus your eyes and then try smoothly move your eyes, you'll find that you can do it. This technique can sorta be useful when you are skimming a book for certain keywords.
@@ethanbrown2073 Interesting, it works, my eyes smoothly shifts to the right but I can't do the same to the left for some reason. As for the book trick, it doesn't work as much as I'd hope with glasses on, haha.

“Prey have eyes on the sides and predators have eyes in the front” *meanwhile Pigs and Hammerhead Sharks*
Fascinating. Somewhat unrelated, but I have also wondered why I can watch TV laying on my side and have no trouble interpreting the image, but I know if I hung the TV sideways, I would not be able to make much sense of it.
hi david
woah i noticed that too
How do you know?
I would guess it's the inner ear telling your brain that your head is tilted and your brain takes it into the reckoning. The whole world tilts at once, again letting the brain know what's going on. Tilting only the telly has the brain thinking 'Huh?'
Wow, same here, I always wondered why looking at the phone or reading while laying on the side was more difficult, didn't make sense until now

because you can only reduce motion blur so much before it hurts your eyes

"I'm gonna simulate your left eye rotating" Unfortunately, that wasn't a simulation. That was one of the most disconcerting feelings ever, because my eye decided "no, we can keep this image straight", and I had to look away because the feeling of one of my eyes rotating made me a little nauseous... :I
Same except I did not feel nauseous. It made me feel like my left eye was rotating but it felt like it stayed liked that and it scared me so I also stoped watching.
All I saw was the pencil turning, im so confused on how you guys are actually feeling anything from it

You have to stay cross eyed to actually feel your eye turn. Make sure it looks like there are only 3 pencils when you go cross eyed.

Thanks for this wonderful video 🙂 and thanks to the sponsor too 🙂
i adore them. everything about them, their styles, etc.
I’ve done something weird with my eyes since I was a kid and now do it a lot as an adult. When I was little I loved spot the difference pictures and could do them in record time , by crossing my eyes and overlapping the two images, any difference on the overlapping image I see seems to move or look lighter or darker ( just different) . Also the hidden image pictures can be seen instantly. I use this “ ability “ in so many different ways and has helped immensely. I’d love to hear if anyone else does this as I’ve never talked about it or heard of anyone else doing it. Thanks Steve.
It's perfectly normal. Look up cross eyed puzzle solving on Google.
Tried it. Now my eyes are stuck like this, just like mother always warned me about.
One is lighter and darker most likely because of your vision. My right eyes images are more blurry then my left eye
GOOD FCKING IDEA
There's dozens of us, dozens!
This was awesome. Love learning about evolutionary quirks.
Thanks!
When I dissected eyes in med school I remember distinctly the superior and inferior rectus muscles not being midline to line of site. I never thought about why they ended up that way. It makes so much sense as an artifact of eyes migrating lateral to medial. This is super neat
What about the part where evolution itself is intelligently designed?

"You need to cross-eye so the images overlap and becomes a 3d image" Instructions not clear. Which of the 4 pencils were supposed to be 3d? Nice vid as always
The 2 middle pencils are supposed to merge but its really hard to keep it like that i had a hard time doing it
It helps to move your phone closer to your face, or it helped me anyways 😊👍
It also helps when you put your hands on the sides of your field fo vision, blocking the left image for your left eye and the right image for your right eye.
It's supposed to look like 3 pencils so that two of the four are overlapping and it will look 3D
The pencil didn't quite look 3D to me but it's a cool idea
Thanks! Very informative
I have a very specific rust-colored pattern shaped like a "y" in my right eye. When I was younger, I was confused about why the pattern changed until I heard, "Oh yeah, my eye rotates over time" by someone else. I did eventually learn it was just a thing our body does to focus. What I didn't know, is that I could learn to do it myself. Fun skills that will be added to my "to learn" list. It'll go well with my wiggling ears.
