The real dominant eye is the mind’s eye: Internal attention’s dominance over external attention Ghent University
The relationship between external and internal attention has become a topic of increasing interest in cognitive neuroscience. However, there is currently only a rudimentary understanding how people regulate the relative balance of these states. Interestingly, Verschooren and colleagues (2019b) found asymmetrical costs for switches between them, suggesting that internal attention is dominant over external attention. This dominance could ...
Do your eyes protect your memory? From memory myths to the false memory potential of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing KU Leuven
Therapies such as EMDR or imagery rescripting (ImR) are two popular and effective interventions for dealing with trauma. Both EMDR and ImR rely heavily on changing the impact of autobiographical memories. In recent years, legal cases and clinical reports have shown that after therapy such as EMDR and ImR, patients “suddenly” report new memories of traumatic experiences. This could lead to patients erroneously claiming to have been, for ...
Does the eye catch it all? The impact of consuming with our eyes on marketing effectiveness. Ghent University
Everywhere we go we see things. We are surrounded by hundreds of images every day. We encounter them either in 2D, in 3D or even via our own imagery. The visual is a central characteristic in every aspect of our society. It is embedded in advertising, the internet, television, newspapers, billboards, magazines, buildings, t-shirts, shopping cards, social media platforms, etc. It is embodied in each object we make and the same object is ...

Laser-induced nanobubbles for advanced therapies in the eye Ghent University
Ocular diseases affect the quality of life of millions of patients. Despite some improvements, the arsenal of medications to treat severe ocular diseases today remains rather restricted to traditional drugs. Use of modern biotherapeutics, like proteins and nucleic acids, could be a major step forward. However, current ways of administration, such as eye drops and intravitreal injections, are no longer sufficient to deliver these drugs to most ...

Pulsed Laser Light and Nano-encapsulated Ocular Dyes for Advanced Therapies in the Eye Ghent University
Vision impairment is a major cause of disability. In Europe, an average of 1 in 30 people experience sight loss. Treatment of ocular diseases is a top priority today. However, the arsenal of medications remains rather restricted to traditional drugs despite improvements in pharmacological treatments. In this context, the EU-funded DYE-LIGHT project will explore new ways to deliver biotherapeutics and perform ocular surgery. Going beyond ...
