The eyes are a direct extension of your brain and they play a huge role in our brain function. 40% of all nerve fibers connected to our brain are linked to the retina.
And more of our neurons are dedicated to vision than the other 4 senses combined (taste, smell, hearing, touch). A specific eye movement corresponds to specific
neuropathways in the brain. Therefore, it is possible to assess how some specific areas of the brain are functioning by analyzing eye movements. More importantly,
it is also possible to improve those areas of the brain by giving specific, consistent
eye movement exercises.
