Article Synopsis
  • Recent research indicates that making horizontal eye movements enhances memory retrieval compared to stationary or vertical movements.
  • This improvement is thought to arise from alternating activation of the brain's two hemispheres due to these eye movements, benefiting both visual and sensory systems while having a lesser impact on auditory processing.
  • The study confirms these findings: enhanced memory retrieval occurs with horizontal eye movements and alternating tactile stimulation, but not with alternating auditory stimulation, suggesting that bilateral activation strengthens communication between brain hemispheres, which may have implications for therapies like EMDR used for PTSD.
