Motion-induced interocular suppression
Okay, kiddo, let me explain what motion-induced interocular suppression is. Do you know what interocular means? It means between your eyes. So, when something is happening between your two eyes, we call it interocular.
Now, let's talk about motion. When something moves, it can look blurry. This happens because your eyes can't keep up with the movement. Have you ever seen a car go really fast and everything around it looks blurry? It's like that, but on a smaller scale.
So, motion-induced interocular suppression is when one eye sees something moving, and the other eye sees something still. This makes your brain ignore, or suppress, the still image from one eye so that it can focus on the moving image from the other eye. This happens because your brain wants to make sense of what you're seeing, and it's easier to do that when both eyes are looking at the same thing.
It's kind of like when you're playing with a toy and someone tries to distract you with something else. You might ignore the distraction and keep playing with your toy because you want to focus on what you were doing before.
Scientists study motion-induced interocular suppression because it helps them understand how our brains process visual information. Plus, it's pretty cool!
