Neurology, eye movements, and sports performance?
⚾️
How our eyes track and process information is crucial to how well we perform, when behind the wheel of a car, or on the field.
🧠
This study examined 71 minor league baseball players with 22 testing parameters. Of note, smooth pursuit tracking accuracy (the ability for our eyes to track a target moving continuously at a slower speed) and information processing were directly linked to hitting performance.

Reaction time, processing, motor speed, and motor coordination, to name a few, can be quantified, thru eye tracking software and used to improve our sports performance.
