The text explains that when your eyes move, the brain blocks your vision, a phenomenon known as saccadic masking, which prevents seeing the motion of your own eyes in the mirror. Without it, life would resemble viewing a shaky movie.
All claims about saccadic masking and its effects lack external evidence. No web sources or fact-check databases were found to corroborate or refute these claims. The phenomenon of saccadic masking is a well-known concept in neuroscience but requires expert or academic sources for validation, which were absent. As a result, each claim is scored as unknown, with low confidence, due to the lack of supporting evidence.
