Fusion Reflex

Fusion reflex: introduction to the mechanism In the physiology of motor processes, the fusion reflex is a phenomenon better known as optomotor fusion. The idea is that when we close our eyes and then open them after a short period of time, we see the objects around us more clearly, as if merged into one object. This effect is created due to the inhibition of eye motor activity after a certain delay in eye opening. When the eyes are closed for a short time, this causes an increase in blood pressure in the eyes, which means that the eye muscles experience some kind of overload. As soon as you then open your eyes, the load is abruptly removed and the eye movement follows the presenting object. Under pressure, the eye makes its movements more clearly. This topic has been sufficiently studied in psychology and is of interest to those involved in the struggle for clarity of vision, productive reading and the general well-being of the visual system with the eyes. It is no coincidence that the fusion reflex is named so, because this mechanism underlies eurythmy - a system of musical breathing that arose in a Bavarian village in the 30s of the 20th century. It is based on the principle of rhythm constancy in a changing sound environment - the creation of one joint sound from several sounds. In each subsequent sentence of the previous paragraph, a syllable containing echo is added in the second half of the sentence. This technique helps maintain a high rhythm of speech and
