title: Active vision: adapting how to look.
abstract: A new study has found that artificial occlusion of central vision leads to rapid emergence, and long-term maintenance of a new preferred retinal locus of fixation. These findings have important implications for the understanding of visual and oculomotor plasticity as well as for the development of rehabilitation techniques.
